L Top Risks Reported – as of Jan. 15, 2021 Risk Description Level H

L Top Risks Reported – as of Jan. 15, 2021 Risk Description Level H High M Moderate Low Submitted by, DG#, Risk#, Date Risk Owner (s) DG 4 College resources are demonstrating burnout with extended remote engagement in project activities due to the following: • fear that normal winter illnesses could be related to COVID • resources and families are contracting COVID (resources are likely to be spread thin to take care of family members with COVID) • stress/distraction for resources who are not able to support families in the hospitals with non-COVID related illnesses • resources are also managing kids who are in remote learning while • COVID stress, lock down, depression, isolation (increases during holiday time) • pressure from furlough impacting family budgets and inability to work or engage during furlough periods • resources are having difficulty in completing regular daily work remotely from home • resources are having difficulty collaborating and engaging with coworkers at their college to coordinate testing activities and business process change planning Due to the items listed above, resources appear to have difficulty retaining remotely delivered information. It is unclear to the project team whether the level of retention of information provided in remote sessions is sufficient for resources. Mitigation TBD, needs governance support. ctc. Link PMO DG 4 Risk #146 (and associated risks) Date: 12/9/2020 TBD DG 4: Quality of Student Financials Conversion We are concerned the go-live quarter (Winter 2021) will not convert with accurate student balances due to the confusion around student financials timelines, activities, and whether the parallel testing will actually occur. ctc. Link PMO team started bi-weekly meetings with the SF team to discuss challenges and open items. For DG 4, parallel testing using cycle 4 data and Dry Run (big scale comparison of legacy and PS data). During the college readiness meeting on 12/7/2020, we asked the DG 4 PMs to provide their list of show stoppers/concerns (for SF and other areas). ctc. Link team will review this information and provide solutions where possible before go live. Daniel Cordas, Seattle PM DG 4 Risk #134 Date: 10/22/2020 Tara Keen, Ajay Koppu, Amy Mac. Neil, Chandan Goel All DGs: Key Bank Cyber. Source Integration Must be deployed by May 2021. This impacts DG 4/5/6 mainly. For DG 4 this work would need to be completed by March 2021 and very close to their go-live date. The Treasurer’s office has reached out to the first three colleges that will be working on the Key. Bank conversion to begin the process. Those colleges are Bellevue, Highline and Lower Columbia. The State Board has met with Cyber. Source to layout plans and to start working on a visual aid/workflow of the process that can be shared with the colleges. Cyber.

Top Issues Reported – as of Jan. 15, 2021 Issue Level M Medium Low

Top Issues Reported – as of Jan. 15, 2021 Issue Level M Medium Low Issue Description Status Update Submitted by, DG#, Issue#, Date Issue Owner (s) Centralia: Two months before DG 4 -A Go-Live, Centralia's local bank dropped the bombshell they could not set up an SFTP site to manage ACH, positive pay, and BAI 2 reconciliation files. Centralia switching to Key Bank 7 weeks prior to DG 4 -A Go Live. Mitigation strategy Plan A: Centralia's Fiscal Services director reached out to the state treasurer’s office, the Attorney General, and Key Bank public sector staff on the necessary steps to getting banking services set up as quickly as possible with Key Bank has indicated they will be able to manage the onboarding and transmission processes simultaneously. Mitigation strategy Plan B: needs to be developed. Stakeholders include: Centralia College, SBCTC Accounting and Business Services division, SBCTC ITD Technology Department, SBCTC ctc. Link Project team, Key Bank, SBCTC ctc. Link Customer Support (including HCM Functional Support and System Accounting). An action items list was created by Centralia PM to ensure critical tasks are aligned. List was shared with SBCTC and project team members to review and include critical tasks. Centralia is close to having a contract with Key Bank. Carrie Powell, Centralia PM DG 4 Issue #121 Issue Date: 12/19/2020 Christyanna Dawson, Sanjiv Bhagat, Dani Bundy DG 4: Unable to complete UAT on schedule due to security, training, and environment issues Seattle Colleges is missing its UAT targets due to issues with the security configuration, incomplete training documents, and issues with the UAT environment. Expected completion of UAT sprint #1 is now December 4. The primary cause of delays has been the delay between realizing a need or an issue and actually having it resolved and insufficient and poorly timed training. During the college readiness meeting on 12/7/2020, we asked the DG 4 PMs to provide their list of show stoppers/concerns (for UAT and other areas). Since then, ctc. Link teams have reviewed this information and have set up one-on-one college facing meetings to bridge the knowledge gaps and will continue to do so before go live. DG 4 completed UAT in the 90 -100% completion range. Daniel Cordas, Seattle PM DG 4 Issue #119 Issue Date: 11/13/2020 Tara Keen, Amy Mac.

ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard / Moran Technology Consulting Report, December 2020 ctc. Link Quality Assurance Scorecard - Moran Technology Consulting , NOVEMBER 2018 REUTH AREA DESCRIPTION / NOTES STATUS Overall Status Y G SBCTC/ Governance Major schedule changes and new or replacement functionality, budgets, progress, and key project issues are brought to the Governance structure for review and direction/decisions. G Project Management PMO is focused on the preparations for the February DG 4 go-live implementations. The PMO and SBCTC Customer Support have applied a number of go-live and post-live improvements based on lessons learned with experience from prior deployments. G Phase Scope PMO has included the solutions (OAA, PBCS) into the current deployment schedule. Any additional major functionality to be considered by Governance after all colleges are deployed. Y Schedule Status G Training QA recognizes that the ctc. Link schedule for DG 4 B cannot be extended without jeopardizing schedules and remaining ctc. Link budget for deployment. groups DG 5 and DG 6. While the project team is doing all the right things to mitigate risk with Deployment Group 4, the overall schedule status remains YELLOW due to the many critical factors that directly impact the DG 4 schedule. Security Training by the Project for DG 4 colleges continued in December. Extensive Security training materials have been made available to the DG 4 colleges. Security Workbooks and Job Aid tools have been developed by the PMO to make the Security Role better defined for colleges. Good feedback received by QA team regarding this. However, PMO reports that colleges continue to struggle with implementing and maintaining role security. Y Testing QA is concerned that UAT for DG 4 B has fallen seriously behind schedule with limited functional end-user participation. With no flexibility in the schedule, this is a high risk for deployment since College testing remains a key factor in determining their overall readiness. G ctc. Link Tech Environ The ctc. Link Project technical team is now preparing Cycle#5 conversion dry runs. People. Soft Updates (PUMs) were finally installed in December. Technical staff and SBCTC IT have completed working with the vendor on system performance load testing in advance of DG 4 implementation. G Organizational Change Management The DG 4 Go-live is now 1 month from happening. DG 4 colleges are very actively engaged with their staffs. College stress levels are at their highest which is normal as go-live implementation dates are close to happening and the reality sets in. As always, QA remains concerned that the end-users have been trained and are confident that they will be able to work with ctc. Link. DG 4 College PMs are meeting weekly to share information and support each other. The Project Communications team has been working closely with the College PMs, PIOs, and OCMs to share approaches and content that will be key to getting effective communications to students and administrative during and after implementation begins. G Project Staffing Both Project and Customer Support teams have been successful in hiring staff now that personnel can work remotely. Y SBCTC Customer Support The Customer Service team will be conducting meet-and-greet meetings with the DG 4 colleges to introduce staff, triage processes, and support responsibilities. Y SBCTC Application & Production Services Additional technical staff hired and onboarded. Technical staff will need to expand further with the addition of DG 5/DG 6 colleges going live over the next 18 months. G SBCTC Data Services Besides providing Centralized Data services to SBCTC, it has been at the forefront of working with the deployed colleges, supporting Datalink, providing training for PS Queries and supporting additional custom solutions and standard ctc.
