As we discussed at the last CIT meeting on December 5th, the POG has met with the SIS Project Leadership team several times over the last few weeks to consider scope reductions in the project.
The scope reductions included the following:
1. Modification/Interface reductions - 11 modifications/interfaces were recommended to be eliminated or deferred to post go-live implementation.
An additional 3 mods are still being evaluated around potential workarounds, impact to staff and students, and current status.
2. The implementation of the Recruitment module was recommended to be deferred to post go-live.
3. A reduction in scope of Advising & Degree Audit was recommended.
It would be implemented for staff use only in the October '07 go-live with a limited number of degree plans as determined by Curriculum, the Advising team, and the colleges.
The POG approved these scope reductions as per the recommendations. They also reiterated a strong comittment to the October 2007 go-live date.
They were also very supportive of the project teams efforts to date at all levels. Please share this information with all affected parties at your institutions.
See the attachments included in this post for additional detail on these scope reductions. These documents have been updated with additional detail including descriptions of the affected modifications and a description of the workaround. |
