High-Level Timeline for System Roll-Out

Roll-out Approach We recognize that the campus is undergoing an enormous
amount of change
We will leverage the consolidated OE Finance change management plan Department Champions will be a key point of contact
We will encourage adoption at all levels of the campus
Go-Live System made available late summer (big splash) with a “ripple” roll-out
over several months Roll-out sequencing will be tied to department readiness, access to
Faculty meetings, scheduling, etc.
15
Training approach Training will be flexible, available, and repeatable Online training
Will address system use, running reports, and creating projections Will include job aids, quick reference guides, brief demo videos
Hands-on training Will be regularly scheduled Requires sign-up to attend (as opposed to “drop in”) Requires having completed the online training
Links to training will be posted on the PI Portfolio Portal page and on the Controller’s Office website
Training will be required before analysts can gain access to the forecasting tool
