12 12 Project uses several measures of progress Project Plan – completion of activities Budget to actuals Status reports and follow-through on action items Earned Value calculations Earned value calculations are used to breakdown activities in the project plan to very granular tasks which are closely monitored with respect to time Earned value metrics provide early warning of problem areas Measuring Progress Summary

29 29 Agency Readiness Assessment Schedule PhaseAgency Readiness Assessment Distributed Design (Base Line) March 16, 2009 BuildSeptember/2009 TestDecember/2010 February/2010 April/2010 DeployMay/2010 June/2010

30 30 Baseline Readiness Assessment (continued) Agencies analyzed in 6 “Areas of Focus” –Progress on Agency Tasks –Primary Contact's Engagement with Project –Agency's Engagement with Project –Agency Perception of Ability to Achieve Readiness –Effectiveness of Readiness Liaison Relationship –General Comments and Concerns Results based on: –Responses to readiness assessment –Agency type (size, interfaces, etc.) –Project records of task status Generated a readiness analysis for each agency (as shown) Generated summary data from detailed analysis –Analyzed trends and specific areas of need GD = Good SC = Somewhat Critical CR = Critical

31 31 Baseline Readiness Assessment (continued) Findings include: –Agencies are completing a majority of their tasks on time –Some agencies do not feel they have what they need to move forward with tasks –94% of Primary Contacts are committed to Sunflower Project goals –Increased communication is needed among Change Agents and agency leadership –It is sometimes unclear which tasks and events apply to each agency –Some Change Agents are unclear on project goals or the Change Agent role Next steps include: –Clarify and simplify the Agency Task List –Increase the relevance of communications by targeting the correct audience –Provide clearly stated, actionable next steps for work assigned to agencies –Promote communication among Change Agents to ensure agencies consider all the key factors when making decisions about SMART (for example, related to configuration activities) Going forward… –Continue to respond honestly –This helps identify specific needs to address

32 32 Shared Services The post go-live support organization will include a shared services center –Will process transactions for participating agencies –Lessons learned in other statewide implementations indicate the need –Similar to approach used by “paper agencies” at SHARP go-live –Not a substitute for support…support will be available to online agencies Criteria for identifying agencies will include: –Low headcount –Low transactional volume –Transactions processed by Dept. of Administration today –Agency desire to participate –Project Team has identified twenty-four agencies who could be potential candidates for the Service Center Determining the funding mechanism to support the services provided by the Service Center
