Training
We’re all about quick reference guides, or QRGs, right now. The trainers are working with the functional team to get an avalanche of QRGs ready for User Experience review by the end of February. With User experience review or UER, starting this March, those QRGs will be very useful to those folks across grounds who are going to get into the system to take it for a test drive. Training is slated to be delivered beginning in May/June. Read more on the blog.
Expense Ambassadors
Trainers also recently held an Expense Ambassador kickoff with a group of about 70 really great folks from across schools and units to get them early exposure to how expense works in Workday Financials and to get them some early training so they’re ready to help our stakeholders across Grounds when Workday goes live.

Workflow Control & Approvals (Security Role Mapping)
After the FDM Mappers met their goal of 85% of the mapping completed, efforts were refocused onto workflow control and approvals. The sprints are now working on mapping out security role assignments in their areas, with a goal of March 11 to have those submitted. The groups meet twice a week and we’ve already built up a pretty large library of resources in the online community. Read more on the blog.
Reporting & Analytics
The Reporting and Analytics team has also been working tightly with folks from across UVA in a focus group, to determine how best to support reporting needs. After working with the focus group, the team has decided that augmenting Workday reporting with UBI (Qlik Sense) reporting will be best, due to our need for flexibility, customization, and self-service. Most operational, transactional, and real-time reporting will be done in Workday Financials, while managerial reporting will reside in UBI and Adaptive as needed, and UBI will also be where we go for analytics.
High-Level Timelines
We've included new timelines on both the FST updates and on area-specific stories. As we draw closer to go-live, we thought a quick visual reminder of where the project overall was headed, and where those individual work areas were headed, would be helpful to you. Read more on the blog. (and see below!)
Future State Support
New Finance User Success manager Joey Carls has an eye on building a team that will serve as the point of entry for most UVAFinance questions. On the team since the end of January, Carls is moving quickly toward a soft launch of the Tier 1 level of support in March. Read more about Carls on the blog.
