3 3 Project Timeline August September October November December January February March Configure System, Develop Mods Develop Reports, Build and Test Interfaces, Run Data Conversions Begin System Testing Agency Role Mapping Build Phase Test Phase Business Process Workshops Interface Testing Begin User Acceptance Testing Begin Training

4 4 Completing: load configuration values for agencies data conversion for vendors and encumbrances security role definitions functional designs for modifications Cycles 7-10 test conditions and scripts Continuing: functional designs for reports formulating cutover plan support for training development and BPWs Project Status & Activities – Finance Team

5 5 Completed all 18 business process workshops with agencies Continuing to develop training materials Continuing to recruit trainers, facilitators and facilities Evaluating help desk software and developing support processes Holding monthly Change Agent Network meetings Publishing monthly newsletters Project Status & Activities – Enterprise Readiness Team

6 6 Developing technical designs and coding mods Developing remaining interfaces Developing technical designs and coding reports Building and maintaining environments Implementing data warehouse including security based on requirements provided by functional team and agencies Beginning work on disaster recovery plan Development resources being added to State and Accenture teams due to volume of work and productivity indicators Project Status & Activities – Tech Team

7 7 A&R/DISC performing SHARP modifications – approximately 50% complete with Phase 2 Division of Budget finalizing contract with IBARS vendor to design modifications to support new chart of accounts; will load 2011 appropriation budgets into SMART from IBARS when finalized in May Developing analysis of options for SHARP performance testing Use KDOT’s LoadRunner software Proposal from Oracle consulting – software and services Proposal from Accenture – software and services Manual simulation Project Status & Activities – Central Systems

8 8 Continue holding monthly forums to address issues and communicate with agencies for interfaces and conversions Continue to review project plans to assess agencies’ progress and communicate identification of problems Enrollment complete for Washburn for basic accounting course for agency personnel (211 enrolled representing over 60 agencies) Data Warehouse Advisory Group 3 rd meeting – discussed management dashboards Executing agency reporting strategy Developing requirements for identifying and securing sensitive data in DW Determining the funding mechanism to support the services provided by the Shared Service Center Project Status & Activities – Miscellaneous

9 9 Universities not fully utilizing SMART Never in scope of this Project Have their own financial management systems to meet their unique needs and linked to their Student Information Systems Agency systems being de-commissioned Overall number of agency systems being decommissioned remains at approximately 60 List provided to JCIT in October 2008 listed several minor differences from the current list System modifications 49 of 1,800 requirements resulted in mods (less than 3%) Many potential mods avoided through business process changes and work-arounds Project Status & Activities – JCIT Concerns

10 10 KITO Metrics: Project StatusKITO Compliance Deliverables9 of 10> 90% Task Completion Rate100%> 90% Cost100% (no adjustments) > 90% Schedule100% (no adjustments) > 90% Fourth IV&V project review & site visit begins next week Project Status & Activities – KITO and IV&V

11 11 Change orders approved since last Steering Committee meeting Change Control No change requests over $50K since last meeting Credits of $80K for change orders since last meeting

12 12 Change Control – Remaining Balance Balance of hours for customizations (including all customizations discussed today) Total Accenture hrs used = 16,368 (16,407 July) Total available contract hrs = 19,130 % Used = 86% (86% last month) % Remaining = 14% (2,678 hours)

13 13 Measuring Progress Accenture’s Tech Team continuing to work mandatory OT Accenture adding two additional developers State adding two additional developers No impact on key milestones or the “go-live” date Scope Element 09/11 Status 10/09 StatusDetailed Status/Corrective Actions Test Scripts Cycles 5 and 6 Green Configuration Data Entry YellowGreen Finance Team is approximately almost complete (95%). Will have configurations in Test environment by target date of 10/15 Functional Design Reports Yellow Finance Team re-engaging on report designs after completing mod designs and loading configuration values into Test environment. Report design and development will be an on-going challenge. Functional Design Modifications GreenComplete Finance Team has been focusing on designs for mods for past 1.5 months and work is nearing completion. Tech Design Modifications Not reported last month Yellow Tech Team is 75% complete vs. 88% planned. 37 of 65 designs signed off; 14 in design; 13 in review; 1 not started. Modifications Build Not reported last month Red Team is meeting schedule; however, work started late waiting for functional designs from Finance Team. Several mods may not be ready at the beginning of the testing Cycle but will be ready prior to the end of the Cycle. Interface Build YellowRed Four interfaces assigned to the State completed or will complete late – minor impact on agency interface testing. Additional resources have been committed as a corrective action. Data Conversion Yellow Tech Team is approximately 75% complete vs. 100% planned. Five of nine conversion programs have been completed; two in development; two in review. Business Process Workshops Green Training Phase 2 Green

24 24 Status Updates – Agency Reporting Strategy - Pilot Agency Reporting Strategy was piloted with three agencies (SRS, KDOR, DOL) prior to rolling out to approximately 80 agencies Feedback from the pilot Clarify some of the headings on the template More detailed descriptions or sample reports needed to determine gaps

25 25 Executive Dashboards Each member of the Data Warehouse Advisory Group (DWAG) tasked to develop prototype executive dashboards Multi-step process: –1 st DWAG meeting – discussed purpose of dashboards and best practices and provided background material –2 nd meeting DWAG members presented 1 st version of dashboards and gained “hands on” experience with the DW and dashboards –3 rd meeting DWAG members presented sample dashboards based on knowledge of DW and tools and ideas from other DWAG members –4 th meeting DWAG members will build HR/Payroll dashboard components for future use –5 th meeting DWAG members will review training material –6 th meeting DWAG members will build Financials dashboard components Goal is to develop sample dashboards and dashboard components to give agencies a “jump start” in developing their own dashboards
