Steering Committee requests that c. ELC: 1. Adopt the above recommendation 2. Communicate the moratorium to presidents at the WACTC business meeting 3. Follow up with a formal communication from c.

ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard Moran -Technology Consulting ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard Moran Technology Consulting , Report: NOVEMBERApril 2018 2019 STATUS G G Y Y Overall Status Y PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION / NOTES SBCTC/Governance framework continues to work as expected. Meetings are held according to schedule, with materials distributed beforehand, and decisions made at the appropriate level. Project Management Office (PMO) is fully staffed, working well together and continuing to address improvements in project management processes. Phase Scope QA remains concerned about the number of solutions to be re-implemented to replace/augment current PS functionality and that timing and resource availability could negatively impact DG 2/DG 3 scope and schedule. Schedule Status Training DG 2/DG 3/DG 4 schedule overlap and resource constraints directly impact all deployment groups. Schedule compression and key project resources are heavily allocated to multiple DG 2 workstreams and supporting DG 3 tasks. This work stream is yellow, but is trending green due to the decisions and actions taken by PMO have enabled recovery of this key workstream. DG 2 success dependent on active end-user participation, assessments and college follow-up. This work stream is yellow, but trending green due to changes made by the PMO. DG 2 UAT Sprints supported by training materials began in April and run through August. DG 2 testing workstream remains a concerns since it relies heavily on availability and expertise of functional project staff. Testing G Configurations / Data Conversion Technical work for DG 2 System Configurations and Data Conversion Cycle 4 continues with good results reported. QA considers it an important achievement that Clark College is now live in the ctc. Link Production Environment with user maintenance of their course catalog. G Organizational Change Management (OCM) PMO/OCM is actively engaged with all colleges now involved with their Deployment Groups. QA concerned that PMO focus remains on the DG 2 schedule. G Y Project Staffing Technical Environment LEGEND Risk Description: Project staffing is adequate at this time and continues to make staffing adjustments as appropriate. QA and the PMO remain concerned that the overlap of DG 2/DG 3/DG 4 may require additional project and contractor resources. Project leadership and staff morale is positive given schedule pressures. PMO is recruiting for seven open positions. Future PS updates/bundles and third-party software installation and support work is being managed by the IT Division outside of the project responsibility. Overall planning of these changes needs to be tightly integrated with the ctc. Link DG 2/DG 3/DG 4 schedules. This becomes more challenging with the overlap in implementation schedules. Draft SLA agreement has been distributed to the colleges. GREEN Low risks may be encountered. NO immediate action needed YELLOW Moderate risks may be encountered. Serious deficiency and action item recommended. RED High risks may be encountered. Needs to be escalated and can impact project effort or cost. 14
