Pre-Design Findings • Identification of appropriate organization and staffing models • Identification of Campus User Representation Groups • Users sought: • Streamlining of HR transaction processes • Division of roles and responsibilities for data integrity accountability
Functional Design Outcomes • Identified key application functionality • Designed user-focused screens • Developed functional prototype • Produced functional specification document • Complete functional phase on time and within budget
User Input – Functional Phase • 39 sessions with user community • 213 participants in online survey • 17 sessions with business teams • 9 sessions with focus groups (98 participants) • 7 sessions with joint application development • Session with joint campus advisory group
