  • breakdown by phase: onboarding, vanguard, implementation, cutover, transition to support

  • call out major work/milestones for implementation

  • major decisions (PPC)? talk about Day 1 vs. Month 1 decisions.

  • SGTF deliverables

  • Look at Timeline overview and SILS News descriptions as model

  • Neil to cover training

  • the work, who’s doing it, when it’s happening

  • Make sure Com Leads include a “how to learn more” slide (FAQs, etc.), share link from previous webinars covering governance.

  • Consider what we want to call attention to - areas that require participation broadly and outside the libraries, or call out helpful documents such as the major integrations doc. AND WHY? build confidence.

Parking Lot

 

 

 

  • Consider a buddy system for local campus staff (particularly for post-go-live training and other work), pairing a new campus with an existing Alma campus for the local implementation teams. Match by size (student count): Davis, Irvine, Riverside, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz. Identify risks of not having a buddy system. Post this idea on the Coordinator. Identify times when a buddy is needed, benefits/risks.

  • Premortem checkins - Hold for a future meeting

  • Timeline planning (extend beyond go-live), identify critical path & intense work periods

  • Adrian & Todd are working on integrations communication work

  • Coordinators group:

    • Start with a one-time introduction meeting for Coordinators with IC and PPC; IT co-chairs are in flux right now. Intent is not to have a recurring meeting.

    • Ask ICs and PPC co-chairs: What do you see coming up that will need to be coordinated? decisions?
