eComm Updates

Project Status, July 17

July 17, 2015 by Kim Egan

The eComm project continues to stay GREEN from a timeline and scope perspective.

The eComm team is planning out how to effectively roll out the solution to our ~250 users in October. Our main focus over the next few months include:

  • Website resources at www.cu.edu/ecomm
  • Additional training for eComm team
  • Email preference migration/ongoing management
  • Potential costs to users
  • Email upload list management
  • Next communication/town hall
  • Alumni community roll out

I'm pleased to say that we are actively engaging a potential solution for phase 2. There is still quite a bit of work that needs to be done in a short amount of time. But, I am optimistic that our team can get us to the goal line.

From a technical perspective, Kyle's update provides great details.

Ecomm – PHASE ONE

Current Status: Scope – Green; Timeline – Green Highlights:
  • Working through iterative planning for Stage environment deployments – schedule is formalized, resources identified, and dependencies mapped
  • Provisioning planning is in the chute – automated provisioning will not occur until phase 2
  • Security and profile creation finalized for phase 1.0 as of 7/09/15
  • FERPA privacy indicators for sensitive data are in place
  • Identified requirements around benefits/HRMS data coming from MDM that needs to be supported in current data model
  • Started to make changes to the online community

We continue to stay as close to original schedule as possible. We have great collaborative efforts and firm understanding of deployment checklist. We’ve planned a stage iteration that is attainable.

No change to future Plans:

  • Production complete in August (all software and data reconciled in Prod)
  • Allow MEC usage and bug reporting in August
  • SuperUsers (UAT) deploy sometime in September
  • Provision Community users in September
  • Conduct training to September/October
  • Rollout to all Production users in October

Provisioning planning continues apace. We will commence daily standups to monitor progress, plan for next cycle, and mitigate issues. We are currently awaiting approval of “black box” provisioning to move forward with planning.

FERPA privacy indicators for sensitive data are in place.
