c. ELC SPECIAL MEETING: DG 3 READINESS • Special meeting called by c. ELC co-chair • Reviewed the following considerations: • Is the project team on target and what are the largest risks to the implementation of DG 3? • Is the system ready for the DG 3 colleges? (Configuration/Setup, Conversion/Data) • Are the colleges ready to go live? (Security, UAT, Training, Learning, Understanding and Adoption) • Is the SBCTC Support Organization ready for 6 additional colleges? 4

DG 3 RISKS: REVIEWED WITH c. ELC ON 1/23/2020 Risk # Description Risk Mitigation

DG 3 RISKS: REVIEWED WITH c. ELC ON 1/23/2020 Risk # Description Risk Mitigation 1 College Security Assignments Colleges unable to complete security mapping and validate user roles in the system Project delivering final workbooks for colleges to assign users roles and permission lists. Environment provided so validation can be complete. An additional week of UAT allocated for regression and security testing and validation 2 UAT/Parallel Completion UAT test completion has run behind schedule due to environment issues, as well a understanding of the system An additional week of UAT allocated for regression for the colleges either to complete those remaining sprints or re-test as needed 3 Training timeline Colleges concerned based upon conflicting activities that training timeline is not sufficient The training timeline has not been changed. 4 Schedule Compression The movement of parallel testing and additional requests to colleges have made the work focus and completion of activities a challenge for the college staff. The project has added an additional week of UAT to help with some of the compression. For some colleges the resources are different that need to participate in the activities and for others it is the same resources. 5 Conversion Execution Approach This is the first time the project team is executing the repeatable multi college conversion approach The project team has developed an approach that can be used for DG 3, DG 4, DG 5, and DG 6. The plan is currently in progress to load historical separately that current term data. This approach will minimize ctc. Link downtime and allow for all DG Colleges to go live as one group 6 Support Readiness The plan to onboard staff to ERP support the deployment groups and number of colleges. The State Board has on boarded additional staff for functional and technical support. There are training resources that can be utilized to additional staff to support the current and new colleges. A select group of vendors are being evaluated to help with the additional staffing demand to support the colleges on ctc. Link 5

L Top Risks Reported – as of Jan. 17, 2020 Risk Level Develop Repeatable

L Top Risks Reported – as of Jan. 17, 2020 Risk Level Develop Repeatable Conversion Approach C Moderate DG 3 Colleges have overlapping project tasks scheduled during the same timeframe and some requiring the same SMEs. ctc. Link PMO is monitoring this closely to understand the impact for timing of Go-Live. ctc. Link PMO The project has developed a repeatable conversion approach for DG 3. Technical team has incorporated lessons learned from DG 2 to develop a new conversion approach for DG 3. This conversion approach will provide more findings during the mock dry run in early February. ctc.

Overall Status ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard / Moran Technology Consulting Report, Dec. 2019

Overall Status ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard / Moran Technology Consulting Report, Dec. 2019 ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard - Moran Technology Consulting , NOVEMBER 2018 REUTH STATUS Y PROJECT AREA DESCRIPTION / NOTES G SBCTC/Governance The three levels of the ctc. Link Governance structure and related processes continue to function appropriately. The State OCIO and State Office of Financial Management (OFM) is waiting on Gate 5 funding request from SBCTC. G Project Management PMO team is now primarily focused on DG 3 readiness and at the same time supporting subsequent deployment groups work activities. PMO is working to mitigate some DG 4 schedule overlap with DG 3 work streams. Y Y G G Phase Scope Schedule Status DG 3 scope (5 colleges at Go-live) will be very challenging. A key area of concern being addressed by the ctc. Link project team is the overall processing time required for multiple college data conversions during Go-live. The implementation of enhanced role security is a foundational aspect of People. Soft ERP. It continues to be major task for the DG 3 colleges. The ctc. Link Project team continues providing support for DG 3 colleges with defining their role level transactional security. The DG 3 Go-live date is now 2 months away. DG 3 data conversions are continuing. DG 3 colleges were involved with User Acceptance Testing (Sprint #3/4). Go-live planning and detail scheduling for multi-college data conversions are underway. The scheduled overlap of DG 4 activities (Business Fit Gaps/Data Conversions) with the DG 3 go-live requirements stresses and directly impacts project functional and technical resources. PMO is sensitive to this and addressing it where possible. Baseline schedule for DG 4 is complete for the first 6 -9 months. Baseline for DG 5 being developed. Training team is still working on Level 200/300 advanced courses and expects to have these completed by mid-January for use with DG 3 colleges. Training responsibility will transition to SBCTC IT in June 2020. Testing Sprint #2 User Acceptance Testing (UAT) was underway in December. Sprints #3/4 planned for January. Testing work streams for DG 3 require multi-college DG 3 SMEs and end-user participation. G Configurations / Data Conversion Technical team is working on DG 3 data cycle conversions. Data conversion for Cycle #4 is complete and being provided to the DG 3 colleges. Technical leads and PMO have planned a multi-stage, multi-weekend schedule of data conversions for a multiple college implementation. The DG 3 implementation will be the first time this approach is used. Technical team and PMO will be testing the approach and making adjustments as required. The People. Tools Update 8. 5. 7 is now being planned as post-DG 3 Go-live. G Organizational Change Management The feedback from the project team supporting Clark provided insight that front-line administrative personnel were being challenged with using the new People. Soft software. This key implementation success factor involves college OCM and effective Knowledge Transfer. QA would expect to see this addressed for future DGs, but is contingent on future deployment colleges taking an active role in ensuring that the front-line staff participate in provided training and become knowledgeable of ctc. Link functionality. G Y Project Staffing Technical Environment LEGEND Risk Description: There continues to be loss of key project staff since DG 2 went live. PMO has a number of Open personnel positions to fill. Additional staffing changes (supplemental consultants or new employees) will have only minor influence for DG 3. Project personnel continue being stressed to provide DG 2 support, meet DG 3 Go-live priorities, and DG 4 workloads. Project morale seems to be okay; however, staff is concerned about current workload, loss of key staff, and overall staffing levels. The IT-ERP support team is now handling the DG 2 production volume of support tickets, with help from the project staff on resolving the more difficult tickets. Support team is keeping up with tickets. SBCTC IT has extended its contract with Burgundy for supplemental support services. The Change Control Board is now making decisions on scheduling of People. Soft environments and other changes. QA is concerned about the level of ctc. Link Project participation on the Change Control Board. The ctc. Link Project team is still heavily involved with supporting enhanced role security. It needs to be rolled out more effectively going forward. 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
