Good afternoon,
As follow-up to Bob's call to meeting for Friday, I'd like to add a
few words about the first agenda item:
> This is a reminder for the project leaders meeting next Friday, April
>23, 10:30 - 12:00 in N42-286. This is the agenda so far:
>
>1) Identifying Initiatives for the FY2000 Budget (about 45 minutes). Greg
>Anderson will provide background on budget discussions to date. We do not
>have the cushion enjoyed in previous years, so it's important to get all
>key initiatives on the table now if they are to be adequately funded. We
>will go through all the current projects. Your insight on these and any
>other looming work is appreciated.
>
We've all learned that crystal balls for future IT iniatives are not very
clear; however, as noted above, we can get a good handle on key initiatives
currently on our table, and this will be our focus.
So that we can feed information back into our FY2000 planning, at the end
of the meeting I would like to have a sense of each initiative and:
Resources needed to complete the work (we can debate what we mean by
complete; my view is what is needed to take the project into an operational
service for the community - Service and Support). In the resources
category, please estimate (three point estimates are fine - high, medium,
low):
Dollars (equipment, contractors, etc.)
People
Time
We know that some work is further along that other projects, so our
information may be inconsistent. That's fine at this juncture. Also include
other information you think important and not available through the Project
DB. Any new initiatives not yet launched but which you think will be
important for IS in the next year.
In the interest of time, having information prepared ahead of the meeting
is encouraged.
Thanks, see you Friday,
Greg
