MEETING SUMMARY
PURPOSE Project Status Review Meeting #48
DATE Wednesday, February 9, 2011
TIME 11:00AM – 12:30PM
LOCATION 219 HB
PARTICIPANTS Dave Tamm, Dale Bradley, Quentin Johnson, Maria Rose, Andy Raisovich, Steve Shala, Evie Brantmayer, Dan Gockley, Shane Jordan, Lynne Shala and Peter Wilkins.
SUMMARY OF MAJOR PROJECTS
Peter reviewed the items that were distributed to attendees with the meeting handout package. The Project Summary Report (Dashboard) shows seven projects, with one reporting completion, three progressing according to plan, two experiencing delay, and one placed on‐hold. The group also browsed the Major Project Summary Gantt Chart, and noted the progress of activities against the baseline schedules for all the projects.
PROJECT STATUS REPORT UPDATES
Automated Decision Rules – Evie reported progress continuing on rules programming and testing, while work still needs to be done on the residency check. She said report needs have been identified but programming reports have not started, and communication plan testing identified unforeseen issues in original rules forcing some rule redefinition. This is causing delay in timeline due to additional work that needs to be done. Adjustments have been made to the project timeline delaying estimated completion until May 2nd.
Housing Information System – Dan reported that weekly project meetings have been ongoing, and all documents for the completion of Stage 2 have been submitted with one exception. An addendum to the original contact must be issued in order to develop a custom link to the WVSTO for credit card payments in StarRez. Stage 3 has begun and remains on target for our March 18, 2011 deadline. The custom development of the on‐line payment interface with the WVSTO may require a schedule modification. StarRez is committed to maintaining the original project schedule if possible.
Content Management System – Upgrade to 6.x – Shane stated that the project was completed on December 19th with a successful upgrade to Drupal 6.x. He said the web site has been separated into smaller sites,

making them much more manageable and easier for users to maintain.
Admissions Workflow Implementation – Andy reported that this project remains ON‐HOLD, with reactivation anticipated in mid‐April under Quentin Johnson’s sponsorship.
Modular Course Integration Study – Peter reported the study team’s final deliverable, summarizing implementation actions and options, was completed and reported to the Project Sponsor on November 18th. He added that overall project completion is pending, and has been delayed from the original estimate.
Online Application for Graduate Programs – Lynne reported several meetings with Enrollment Services to review and test information being pushed from application into Banner system to accelerate the Enrollment graduate application process. Development of application fee processing was completed, and we plan to move it into production after testing and approval. A demo has been scheduled with Van Dempsey and the Graduate Programs Committee to review the online application process. We will continue to meet with stakeholders to attempt to fast‐track completion of the application status report to coincide with the February 28th estimated completion date for the project.
CampusEAI myCampus Implementation – Andy reported that the discovery document was received and confirmed by CampusEAI. The VM instance is up and available, VPN/networking setup is complete, and internal systems are reachable via the tunnel. Basic color scheme and portal layout has been submitted to CampusEAI. Basic portal roles have been defined, and scripting for establishing those in the Active Directory is underway. Pending testing this week, we are on track and ready to continue into pre‐production/launch tasks.
PENDING PROJECT PORTFOLIO REVIEW
Peter reviewed the portfolio of pending projects, and mentioned the addition of WIMBA Classroom Implementation to the list. Dave stated that a charter is expected within 2‐3 weeks.
Dave explained that Blackboard hosting services were to transfer to WVNET, and stated that a project describing the transition, and incorporating XIV for Disaster Recovery, would be chartered within the next 1‐2 weeks.
NEW BUSINESS None.

Project Sponsor Quentin Johnson
Project Manager Dan Gockley
Progress and Accomplishments
Weekly project meetings have been ongoing. All documents for the completion of Stage 2 have been submitted with one exception. An addendum to the original contact must be issued in order to develop a custom link to the WVSTO for credit card payments in StarRez. Stage 3 has begun and remains on target for our March 18, 2011 deadline. Within the test environment, room configurations have been built and sample student data has been uploaded. StarRez is uploading account information which will allow us to begin testing the system.
Schedule Variances
None.
Issues or Risks
The custom development of the on‐line payment interface with the WVSTO may require a schedule modification. The paperwork for the addendum was recently submitted to the Procurement Office. The contracts must be completed in order for the schedule to be developed. StarRez is committed to maintaining the original project schedule if possible.

Project Sponsor
Doreen Larson
Project Manager
Peter Wilkins
Progress and Accomplishments
An Opportunities Assessment was completed on October 1st, and the Open Learning Capability Assessment completed on October 8th. A gap analysis was compiled into a merged Requirements Analysis document on November 1st. The project team subsequently identified potential areas for Banner configuration and Open Learning set‐up; candidate areas for minor or major system modification; and areas where business processes would need to be created or changed. These were documented in an Action Matrix, which was completed on November 11th. The study team’s final deliverable, summarizing implementation actions and options, was completed and reported to the Project Sponsor on November 18th.
Schedule Variances
Overall project completion has been delayed.
Page 9
Issues or Risks
The final project deliverable documented alternative paths forward. Due to the strategic nature of the reported options, Dr. Larson stated that she would convene a meeting of senior institutional representatives to discuss them, and make an informed decision. Thereafter, she would communicate approval to complete or additional requirements.
Project Outlook (Estimate To Complete)
Pending the Sponsor’s approval, the project team has completed the deliverables identified in the charter. Estimated completion has been revised to 2/28/11.

Project Name Online Application for Graduate Programs
Project Description
Create the new graduate online application based on the current paper application. This will entail establishing:
• Graduate students and admit‐types. • Intended Degree Program and Concentrations as filter for
graduate requirements for each program • Filter process to provide the applicants information to
the appropriate departments. • A communication plan for graduate students. • Checklist items of required information for each graduate
program • Workflow for automated emails • Application fee processing
Project Sponsor Quentin Johnson
Project Manager Lynne Shala
Progress and Accomplishments
e met with some members of Enrollment Services several times to
review and test application to ensure information is pushed from W
application into Banner system to accelerate the Enrollment graduate application process. Shane finished the development of application fee processing, and we plan to move it into production after testing and approval. We scheduled a demo with Van Dempsey and Graduate Programs Committee on 2/9/2011 to review the online application process. We are continuing to test the application with Enrollment Services, finding minor issues and correcting them. We plan to continue to test with Enrollment Services in working sessions until all agree it is ready for production. We will continue to meet with Enrollment Services and Dr. Van Dempsey to attempt to fast‐track completion of the application status report to coincide with a 2/28/11 estimated completion date for the project.
Schedule Variances
Baseline schedule has been updated from original Project Charter. There was a slight delay on the application fee processing due to the complexity and security of that process and resources being pulled onto other projects. Development on this is complete, but we are waiting on final detail codes to be established, which can be plugged in quickly.
Page 11
Issues or Risks
Because other projects are also scheduled in the same timeframe with upcoming scheduled training, vacations, and holidays, the time of Enrollment Services as the subject matter experts and testers will be at a premium and could affect project participants’ abilities to meet the deliverable schedule. If this is necessary, delays may occur in the timeline.
We are discussing application status reporting options. Once a delivery method is agreed upon, development can start; however, conflicting schedules may delay this discussion.
Project Outlook (Estimate To Complete)
The latest version of the baseline schedule shows an estimated project completion in February 2011. Project Outlook is cautiously optimistic.

Project Name CampusEAI myCampus Implementation
Project Description Implementation of a campus portal for Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community and Technical College.
Project Sponsor David Tamm
Project Manager Andy Raisovich
Progress and Accomplishments
Discovery document was received and confirmed by CampusEAI. VM instance is up and available. VPN/networking setup is complete, and internal systems (Active Directory and Banner) are reachable via the tunnel. DNS CNAME for the site has been defined. Thanks to Systems and Networking for coordinating calls with Cisco to make this happen. Live@EDU (student email) certificates, required for single sign‐on (SSO) to this service, have been provided to CampusEAI. SSL certificates, necessary for the secure exchange of data between clients and the service, have been purchased and delivered to CampusEAI. Basic color scheme and portal layout has been submitted to CampusEAI. More work is necessary to determine what widgets and features should be displayed by default upon login. Mock‐ups were presented at the 2/3/2011 meeting, and CampusEAI has stated that their goal is to implement the designs by 2/8/2011. The first round of portal administration training occurred on 2/2/2011, with a showcase to occur this week, and further administration training (phase 2) to be determined. Basic portal roles have been defined, and scripting for
