Big questions:

Things that need to be organized and pursued:

  1. Estimate, define and get approval for and schedule BI for Workday Discovery project:
    1. categorize the impact in terms of size and complexity and impact/risk
      1. feeds/transformations
      2. reports
      3. models
    2. decide who owns talking to campus about downstream impacts / campus extracts and uses and their own reports
    3. make sure time collection is included in reporting needs (it's not just HR)
    4. elaborate on the diagram with..
      1. the basic purpose and use of each DM
      2. owners and users of each DM
      3. data extracts, transformations, and extracts for each DM
  2. For Workday to do:
    1. estimate the work to extract the same data now taken out of PeopleSoft (the 160 tables' worth of data)
    2. map out the canned Workday jobs extract with the PS jobs table used for 80% of the right hand side of the diagram
    3. supply a meta data model (fields definitions,types, uses, examples of fields)
  3. For analytical work in the discovery project:
    1. define minimal functionality
    2. define historical longitudinal reporting
    3. plan for simple ad hoc access to an extract and PAIDS data
    4. plan for updated APDB reporting solution
    5. plan for how to align efforts in HR with efforts in other topics -> keep enterprise warehousing in mind.
  4.  Discovery projects should consider or include
    1. research outside solutions
    2. gaps in what Workday delivers and what CU needs for HR and Payroll
    3. longitudial
    4. compliance
    5. Enterprise model - for new work
    6. acceptable day 1, day n
    7. remediation - see picture
    8. Need overall BI strategy for project
    9. 2 discovery projects, 2 implementation projects:
      1. day 1 discovery project
      2. end goal discovery project
      3. each would have subsequent implementation work
