9.2 Upgrade

Project Manager Carrie Otto has been visiting with the system councils and the ASR BA leads as part of PS Campus Solution 9.2 Upgrade project planning.
Discussions with each of the student council groups (Student Finance, Financial Aid, Student Records, SEVIS, Admissions, and Campus Community/Shared Data) have already taken place.

It currently appears this upgrade will primarily be a technical upgrade from version 9.0 to 9.2. requiring much less functional staffing resources than 9.0 upgrade project did. Technical review of functionality and tools will be conducted and then overviews will be brought to the councils for input on the inclusion of the upgrade. Any items that require business process review will include functional stakeholders.
Current project team members are:
  • Carrie Otto - Project manager
  • Eleanor Pijut - Project support
  • Jake Flemming - OIT project lead
  • John Vollum - Change management
  • TBD - Communications
  • TBD - Training

The project is following this tentative timeline:

  • Phase 1: Plan & Discover, July - October 2016
  • Phase 2: Analyze & Design, October 2016 - January 2017
    • Pause for Tools 8.55, February 2017- April
  • Phase 3: Configure & Develop, April - June 2017
  • Phase 4: Test & Train, August 2017- Feb 2018
  • Phase 5: Deploy & Optimize, February - May 2018
