Document is in progress.

 

 

 

3

SILS dashboard with what’s happening in the project at a glance.

  1. Discuss how to create the dashboard and where it lives.

  2. When should this be done?

  3. Who does the work?

  4. What’s the scope of time to cover? 1 month? 1 quarter? (test with actual content to see what makes sense)

Content:

  • Bulleted one-liners that provide current updates - could be shared with campuses to share locally

  • Call out when different staff will be involved in SILS (e.g., staff training in June), that is, when do they need to care. (matrix?)

20

All

  • Start of the month talking points about SILS; release as a SILS News. “This month is SILS”.

  • Ask chairs for what’s your “need to know” for this month to share in SILS News?

  • Establish a workflow and commit to this. Next Monday, ask chairs for their one top level initiative or need to know in your group (fine if you don’t have anything). Com Leads refine it and it’s ready to go out on March 1.

  • Provide a google doc for them to put their response on. Com Leads will manage. Use SILS chairs slack, and remind at the SILS chairs meeting.

Do not create another page/dashboard in Confluence that must be maintained, rather we will push out information monthly in SILS News, Town Halls, and more.

@Ben Alkaly (Unlicensed) and @Adrian Petrisor will add the new “This month in SILS” to the editorial calendar and create a google doc for chairs to add their bullet points.
