Replacement Solutions: • Campus. CE is the continuing education software replacing “OSECE” in ctc. Link. Colleges have been given a choice to opt in to use—or continue using—Campus. CE or opt out of using the product. It was recommended by the Steering Committee, and approved, that SBCTC develop a Master Contract with Campus. CE, so each college can purchase or continue with Campus. CE based on the original RFP pricing. As previously planned, the project pays for initial Campus. CE implementation and integration to ctc. Link. • The Business Affairs Commission (BAC) unanimously recommended and WACTC approved that the $305, 000 estimated annual maintenance costs for the new OAA solution (developed by Kastech) be distributed to college districts using the same (headcount) methodology as other ctc. Link service and maintenance costs. • The Budget Planning Tool has been approved, contract signed and pre-planning for implementation will be integrated in the program schedule. Colleges will implement in groups, beginning with DGs 2 and 3. College Finance SMEs will engage this summer. Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) needs to be updated to validate original RFP requirements have been implemented, tested, and end-users trained on the processes and functionality • • Currently tracking under budget Completed Gate 4 deliverable review and submission for Gate 5 funding allotment Overall Status Summary per Deployment Group Executive Summary The project is tracking per schedule, under budget.

L Top Risks Reported – as of April 10, 2020 Risk Level C Critical We are about a month out from DG 3 -B go-live date. Although we are assessing college readiness from a technical standpoint, it is important we continue to monitor and discuss ways to support SMEs readiness. ctc. Link project team meets with the colleges weekly to discuss this risk. ctc. Link PMO & College PMs The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak is a fluid situation which we are monitoring at SBCTC in alignment with the state Department of Health and colleges. ctc. Link team and college teams are continuing to work and meet virtually. ctc. Link team continues to work with DG 3 -B on “remote” plan for go-live. We are monitoring impact to DG 5 start. ctc. Link PMO Two Risks: COVID-19 Health Concern and Impacts: 1) DG 3 -B Deployment Impact 2) DG 4 Full Remote Impact 3) DG 5 Start Impact based on DG 3 -B 4) Project Team Impact H High Christy Campbell, DB 3 B, DG 4 & DG 5 Project Managers L M Submitted by (name, org/college), Deployment Group & Date Status Update DG 4: BPFG Homework Impact to Data Conversion Cycles for CS The CS team completed an initial analysis of the homework assignments and have identified major gaps in these submissions. The CS team is continuing to work with college PMs and SMEs to gather information needed for cycle 2. ctc. Link PMO DG 4: BPFG Final Sessions Delayed for The DG 4 remaining BPFG sessions were delayed to allow project team to focus on DG 3 -A and DG 3 - project team more time to focus on DG 3 -A and DG 3 -B B activities remaining work and go live efforts. To minimize delay in the current timeline for DG 4, the project conversion cycles have been re-evaluated to minimize the execution of each conversion run. DG 4 BPFG sessions have re-started and are delivered remotely. ctc.

ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard / Moran Technology Consulting Report, March 2020 ctc. Link

ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard / Moran Technology Consulting Report, March 2020 ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard - Moran Technology Consulting , NOVEMBER 2018 REUTH STATUS Overall Status Y PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION / NOTES G SBCTC/ Governance Multiple meetings were held leading up to the go-live decision for DG 3 A and meetings are scheduled for DG 3 B. Multiple levels of governance across the project and SBCTC have been utilized to approve approaches and funding for the in-scope replacement solutions. G Project Management The PMO and all Project support staff are now working remotely. Work is progressing and team communications are challenging but the staff has adjusted accordingly. PMO team is now focused on preparations for the May 11 th DG 3 B colleges go-live implementation. The PMO has now started holding Weekly Readiness Assessment meetings with the DG 3 B College PMs. Y Phase Scope Y Schedule Status G Training No additional new functionality is included within the DG 3 overall scope. There may be additional minor scope changes included post DG 3 go-live dependent on governance prioritization. Major scope items included in ctc. Link core ERP project are: Campus/CE, Online Admissions and Oracle Budgeting. The detail Project Schedule for DG 3 B has been revised and being used to plan and track project tasks leading to the May 11 th target implementation. The multi-stage, multi-weekend data conversion approach will not be required for DG 3 B. PMO has adjusted the baseline schedule for DG 4 activities to focus on go-live preparations for completing DG 3 implementations. Some DG 4 work, including data conversions and business process fit-gaps, was underway in March. This did not significantly impact the DG 3 priorities. The Covid-19 impact on the colleges has elevated the importance of providing ctc. Link training through remote learning and communication services. The ctc. Link project has been working towards remote delivery of ctc. Link courses. Additional training materials developed for college administrative staff involves business process simulations using the Storyline software. These were being completed by the end of March for all 100 and 200 level online courses. Y Testing UAT Sprints and parallel testing continued in March for DG 3 B. The colleges are currently assessed at 90% through their UAT activities. Problems that were reported earlier in March (March 2 -3 Project Status Report) with access to the UAT environments has been resolved. Based on information provided to the QA team, the DG 3 B Colleges are keeping up with the preparatory work for their May 11 th implementations. G Configurations / Data Conversion A DG 3 B dry run for implementation and data conversions is being planned for April 20 -24 th. This provides more project time to plan, execute, and evaluate the dry run than what was used for the DG 3 A schedule. The dry run plan and schedule is modeled after that used for DG 3 A with improvements. Scope of dry run involves functional teams testing converted data and processes. Local configuration workshops with DG 3 B colleges are being planned. A Configuration Guide with supporting materials is being developed for the colleges. G Organizational Change Management The ctc. Link PMO has been incorporating many elements to support the colleges with being prepared for implementing the changes coming with People. Soft. Deployed colleges have an understanding of OCM challenges. QA remains concerned that business transformation projects like ctc. Link are under-estimated and understaffed by college executives. The College Presidents are required to sign-off on the golive decisions for their colleges. G Project Staffing PMO continues to fill Open personnel positions. Additional staffing will benefit the DG 3 B implementation. Project morale seems to be good at this time since the implementation of DG 3 A. The schedule for DG 3 B has more time for completing tasks. Based upon meetings with ctc. Link staff, teams are working well in the remote environment and remain focused. Technical Environment The customer support team continues handling the production volume of support tickets for the 6 deployed colleges, with help from the project staff on resolving the more difficult tickets. Support team is keeping up with current tickets. Process improvements are starting to be made to the ticketing system. The ctc. Link Project team has been heavily involved with supporting enhanced role security, including development of comprehensive training materials. Training materials have been developed by the ctc. Link Project. Support for this functionality is to be transitioned back to the IT Division. QA now expects this to be achieved by April/May. Y LEGEND Risk Description: 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. 12
