Purpose

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the current status of the project and make some plans for migrating the content of the current IIP Web pages into the OIT wiki space.

Discussion Items

RefItemNotes
1.1. Review project goals and milestones.
  • Reviewed wiki page containing overall process information and agreed that the content was OK but could be shortened up a bit by removing repeated information. Eric will review the page and make changesthe purpose of the migration project.
  • No one knows why the 12/31/2013 deadline for the shutdown of the current IIP site was imposed. Eric suggested checking with Briandy to see if there is a reason for this or if it was arbitrary.
2.

2. Review current IIP site.

  • Define the purpose of the site.
  • Review the OIT Groups pages.
    • Can these be replaced by the new OIT Functional Unit pages?
  • Eric asked Shohreh and Marina to review the project proposals on file and comment on their readiness. This will be done off line.
  • Eric showed the project summary wiki page and asked for comments. Shohreh noticed some inconsistencies in the way some of the information was formatted. Eric asked if the page was needed at all and all agreed that it would be useful. Eric will review it for consistency.
  • Eric showed a sample of an executive cover sheet for the project proposals and asked for comments. Everyone agreed that the overview is a good idea but should be changed from the sample. Changes include:
  • Add the project name above the Overview section
  • Expand the Stakeholders section to include names, titles, and units. Exclude OIT from the stakeholders list.
  • Replace the “Financial Summary” section with “Anticipated Cost” which would be a simple table showing expected startup and recurring costs and staffing requirements.
  • Replace the “Impact Summary” section with a checklist of project ranking categories and the corresponding scores.
  • Add a “Justification” section that would be a bullet point summary of the “Business Case & Justification” and “Impacts & Dependencies” sections from the project proposal.Reviewed the existing IIP home page (oit.uci.edu/iip) and discussed options for rearranging the content to make it more accessible.
  • The purpose of the site is to provide a central place for storing information and links to resources, policies, templates, etc. for OIT staff.
  • The Groups section of the current IIP home page contains links to separate pages for groups within OIT functional units. It does not have information on all the OIT groups, nor does it include all OIT functional units. Most of the information that is there, is out of date and needs to be reviewed.
  • There was some discussion about eliminating these sections in the new wiki and replacing them with the unit overview pages that were set up in early 2013 for the new OIT wiki. (See: /wiki/spaces/OIT/pages/13762567)
3.

Review templates for OIT Internal wiki.

  • Agreed that it would be useful to provide a binder containing all project proposals, a single-page Executive Overview” for each project proposal, and an index of what is in the binder.
  • The committee will not be provided with a copy of the Excel workbook used by the planning team to keep track of the projectsEric provided some hardcopy printouts of several layouts currently being used by various units in OIT.
  • These were discussed and the format used by the OIT Projects page was selected as the preferred layout. Using this layout, it will be necessary to maintain the left navigation panel manually, but it offers much more control over how the navigation is presented.
  • Eric will prepare a template for this page and instruct Nancy and David on how to use it.
4.

Decide on what should be on the home page.

  • All agreed that it would be best to have Dana chair the meetings with Shohreh and Marina attending to respond to any questions that come up.
  • There should be at least two meetings scheduled. The first would be to allow everyone to review the projects and understand the issues. The second would occur a week or so later and would be focused on explaining details and making recommendations. The time between the meetings would be for the PRC members to consider the projects and get any supplemental or follow-up information that may be needed.
  • A time limit of 90 minutes for each meeting is recommended.
  • Discussed how to design an index (site map) for the new wiki pages. Nyma agreed to type up the initial index and route it via email for review.
  • There was also some discussion about how much of the new wiki pages should be private vs. public. Currently all of IIP requires authentication for access. Eric will talk with Marie and see if she has something in mind.
5.

Determine who will be doing what.

  • This topic was not discussed in any detail but it is expected that marina and Shohreh would collect comments from the meeting and compile them into some written format. The comments would then be forwarded to Dana for review and dispositionTalked about who will be involved and to what extent. There is some confusion about how much of the IIP site this particular project team is responsible for. Eric said he would talk with Marie to get that settled.
  • Nyma, Nancy, and David will be responsible for getting IIP pages reviewed and migrating content.
  • Eric will assist with organizing the wiki space and setting up templates for various documents.

Action Items

  • Eric – Make changes to Executive Summary sample and send to Marina and Shohreh for review.
  • Eric – Review project summary page on the wiki for consistency of presentation.

...

  • - Follow up with Briandy to see if the 12/31/2013 deadline is a hard date.
  • Eric - Follow up with Marie to determine how much of the new wiki pages should be private vs. public. ("Private" would require a login using an active UCINetID.)

  • Eric - Set up a training session with Nancy and David to go over how to edit pages in the wiki.
  • Eric - Prepare a template for generic pages based on the OIT Projects page.
