Product Strategy • Looking back on planned/actual capacity • Lessons learned • External changes to process • Recommended changes to process • Need to develop criteria • Timeframes • Next Steps
Lessons Learned • Need to allocate time for surprises/mandates • Need to do more outreach to other areas (OBP, Provost Office, etc.) • Having a strategic plan to guide us would help • Supporting processes that cross org boundaries and leverage integrated system provide better return and seem to be of more interest as systems mature • Estimates are just that; need to leave room for contingency • Need to consider impact on campus/timing • MAIS Employee Satisfaction Survey – workload issues • Others???
External Changes to Process • Potential budget cuts • MAIS need to cover new products and services • Development • Research • Business Intelligence • Academic Department System? • Need for common tools • Portal, Workflow, Notification • Imaging • Role of MAIS Advisory Committee

Criteria • What will we use to make recommendations on priorities • Used to be self-service, cost-savings • What Now? • Strategic use of data • Process integration • Support for academic departments • ???
Timeframes • Planning Process • January start • February/March check-in • May and June priority setting • May understand capacity better at this point • Quarterly reviews and revisions • Window of Opportunity • May 2008 – June 2010 • Next Upgrade June 2011? Maybe 2012?
Detailed Product Strategy Process • Determine capacity • Collect items for lists • Prioritized based on external input from central offices and advisory groups • Present at SAAG • Present to other areas in MAIS for capacity planning and prioritization
SA Product Strategy Process • Scope projects, estimate effort, draft timelines • Work with central offices, product area advisory groups and SAAG as necessary on changes to lists (iterative) • Project plans will be created and analysis/design work will start as timelines dictate.
