How FIS is Organized

FIS is composed of leadership, a Program Management Team (PMT), Professional Specialty Groups (PSGs), and a Program Management Office (PMO).

 

Program Management Team Professional Specialty Groups Program Management Office

Program Management Team (PMT)

 

The Program Management Team (PMT) provides tactical governance of the FIS program in order to assure effective management of projects. The PMT serves as the principal steering group for the NOAA NMFS to share effective fisheries-dependent data collection and data processing and to establish the best practices of information management, as well as policies and procedures that improve the dissemination and quality of information. The PMT oversees NOAA NMFS projects and operations which are funded through the FIS Program.

 

The PMT also:

  • Provides guidance and stewardship concerning fisheries issues
  • Oversees the operations and monitors implementation of FIS projects
  • Makes recommendations to support strategic decisions made by the Executive Committee concerning all decisions related to program planning, project selection, and project plans
  • Ensures quality performance and life cycle phase monitoring for all FIS funded projects
