Team Huddle
The NextGen Project Team met Feb. 29 for the first ever full-team update in a Team Huddle. The more than 300 project participants in person and online heard a message from project sponsors. Members of the leadership team shared updates on project progress, the importance of meeting engagement and the significance of wellbeing and self-care while working on the NextGen project.
Design Sessions
Design sessions are in full gear with collaboration from agency participants. Session attendees are reviewing agency use cases, thinking through each process step and making informed decisions that will work best for the state. The outline below provides a high-level snapshot of what A Day in Design Sessions looks like.
A Day in Design Sessions
Assess Discovery outcomes: Review and determine how to address items learned in Discovery Sessions.
Business Process Review: Examine business processes, taking a deep dive into process flow maps.
System Role Definitions: Consider Workday roles and how they relate to Workday processes.
System Demo: View a demo of the Workday system and everything the system can do. Decide what functions will work for the state. Discuss “what-ifs” and potential shifts in policy.
Configuration Opportunities: Examine any opportunities to streamline processes across the enterprise and ways in which the system can be configured to serve the state.
Change impacts: Calculate impacts on people, processes and technology as we transition from current state to future state.
Training: Discuss requirements for training end-users.
Note that any agencies not currently involved in design sessions will have the opportunity to provide feedback in the future. Stay tuned for more information next month.
