PI Portfolio Status • The Pilot phase, begun in January, continues with additional departments and users invited to participate • The goal of the pilot is to assess functionality, confirm validity of data, and provide valuable feedback and suggestions for improvement • Involved departments include Radiology, FCM, CAPS, CTSI, HDF Comprehensive Cancer Center, and others; Approximately 38 users in 15 departments are involved in the Pilot • Improvements to the system are ongoing • To date, over 25 bug fixes and 20 enhancements have been implementedbased on Pilot input • A redesign is underway to improve functionality and usability, with the ultimate goal of increasing user adoption
PI Portfolio Planned Enhancements • Simplify the portal page • Improve report readability and presentation • Combine and simplify projections functionality • Provide ability to customize a PI’s portfolio report (for example, to include Non-Sponsored Projects) • Include transactions to support clinical trials and STIP income • Include budget and actuals transactions on a nightly basis

Roll-out Approach • We recognize that the campus is undergoing an enormous amount of change • We will leverage the consolidated OE Finance change management plan • Department Champions will be a key point of contact • We will encourage adoption at all levels of the campus • Go-Live • System made available late summer (big splash) with a “ripple” roll-out over several months • Roll-out sequencing will be tied to department readiness, access to Faculty meetings, scheduling, etc.
Training approach • Training will be flexible, available, and repeatable • Online training • Will address system use, running reports, and creating projections • Will include job aids, quick reference guides, brief demo videos • Hands-on training • Will be regularly scheduled • Requires sign-up to attend (as opposed to “drop in”) • Requires having completed the online training • Links to training will be posted on the PI Portfolio Portal page and on the Controller’s Office website • Training will be required before analysts can gain access to the forecasting tool
