FST Updates

Foundation Data Model (FDM):  The FST team has recommended some changes to the way worktags will be used in the
FDM.  The main difference is that we will
use two driver worktags instead of three, with the program tag no longer being
a driver.  Driver worktags determine the values of other
worktags – the difference is that now, users will have the option to keep the
defaulted value or choose another from a list of allowed worktag values.  This approach offers greater flexibility while still
limiting opportunities for error.  Read more on the blog.



FDM Mapping:  The team is working with several schools
and units to test out the mapping exercise process that everyone will take part
in soon.  After a few weeks in May of
refining the procedure with these collaborators, the team will have enough info
and experience to provide more detailed instructions and expand mapping
activities to include others. You can still be
making progress with mapping right now, even while we wait for the mapping tool
to be available in July.  Here's how to prepare for mapping.



Adaptive Planning:   The Adaptive
Team is still pushing toward the third, Workday integrated version of Adaptive
Planning, the University’s new budget tool. The team is
refining the current tenant of Adaptive Planning based on user stories they’ve gathered
from schools and units across UVA.  If
you’d like to see more about the work with Adaptive, and the budget process
redesign, check out this update.



The Grants management workstream has also been very busy behind the scenes – they're
partnering closely with FST colleagues working on the FDM, payroll costing,
and reporting and analytics to ensure seamless integration of grants in all
those related areas. More here on the blog.



Training:  Training plans
are coming together.  We’re
still a year out from the delivery of training, but we’ve pulled together a roadmap
that will allow us to design, develop, and deliver training that fits the needs
of our stakeholders. See the latest update from the Training Team.



FAQs from Sneak Peek Sessions: We’re answering some of the 244 questions raised in those sneak peek sessions our
Change Leaders held after round one of Customer Confirmation sessions – you’ll
be seeing some of the most common ones answered in the blog and other coms
channels, and we’ll be following up with our Change leaders on those as well.  Check out the first three questions and their answers here. 



The System Remediation Network has started
establishing subgroups intended to help members connect in smaller numbers to discuss
remediation-related topics more specifically. 
The plan is to create about 10 subgroups with about 10-15 system owners
each.  The groups will meet monthly, and
the full SRN meetings will continue monthly as well.  Read more on the blog.
