April BPAWG Presentation

Greetings all,
 
(Apologies for cross postings). Get this on your calendars! The next BPAWG
(http://stafforg.berkeley.edu/bpawg/) event will feature a presentation by
Patty Mead, Information Systems Manager for the FASDI (Facilities and
Spatial Data Integration -- <http://fasdi.vcbf.berkeley.edu/>
http://fasdi.vcbf.berkeley.edu/) Project.

Thursday, April 27th 3:30-5:00 PM
544 Campbell Hall

In Patty's own words:

"This presentation discusses the basic, initial analytical steps required
for the creation of a successful IT project. Using the processes that the
Facilities and Spatial Data Integration (FASDI) project followed, it will
take you through the initial phases of a project creation -- when the
analytical decisions you make up front will determine the successful
implementation of your idea.

1. Design a plan: Create a solution-based idea (why and how)
2. Initiate the data project: How to identify needs and relevant data &
identify the sets of data most likely to succeed
3. How & why to involve others: Why have a steering committee, or work
groups, who should be on it
4. How to name the project: Why naming the project is so crucial, the
problems with naming & how to use it as a tool
5. Pitch the idea & seek a champion: Presentations, sponsorship (why and
how), what if you're not successful 6. Special concerns in today's
environment: Conducting risk assessments, segment restricted and non
restricted data
7. Learn from our mistakes (cautions): Enterprise systems in a departmental
system, the Myth Good = Successful, and the effects of reorganizations to
your plan."
