FDM Sprint
Schools and units have been working toward a December 31 deadline to have 85% of FDM Mapping complete so that we can have a fairly complete chart for testing moving into 2022. Recognizing that we need a little extra help to get there, the team has enlisted a few additional resources to get us over the line. Jacob Mair, Elissa Morton, and Katie Walker will co-lead this sprint in partnership with existing functional leaders. Their tasks include seeking opportunities to create consistency on common, high-priority elements, creating documentation to help units implement the FDM, and optimizing the FDM for the "hard funding" managerial environment.

Adaptive Planning
UVAFinance's Financial Planning and Analysis team has partnered with the Adaptive Planning team to offer an “Ask Us Anything” form, in the interest of getting all UVA’s future-state budgeting questions and concerns addressed. Read more in the blog.
Workflow Control and Approvals
The FST team has shared a Workflow Control and Approvals roadmap that our listeners might find interesting. The map shows what has been completed and what’s coming up in the process. From January to March of 2022, the team will work directly with each unit to identify how best to fill Workday roles as compared to existing oracle roles while still ensuring separation of duties. See the roadmap and read more here.
End-to-End Testing
We caught up with Deloitte’s Marnie Fulton, as well as our own Jackie Tucker, to talk about how the end-to-end testing process is going. Both Marnie and Jackie have a wealth of experience with implementations at other higher ed institutions, and they give a good snapshot of where we’re going and how things are going. We’ll move into User Experience Review in mid-February to confirm that what we’ve learned during end to end testing is applicable in real life use of the system. Read the interview here.
System Remediation
The SRN team is holding technical workshops with stakeholders across UVA, including a journal integration workshop conducted at the end of October. Future topics include FDM worktag collection guidance for system owners, resources for FDM conversion, and more. System remediation testing will take place from December of this year through April of next. Read more on the blog.
