What We Are Working on Now
Validation Sessions
The second round of FSPD sessions are called Validation sessions under Workday’s methodology. Design Focus Groups are invited back to review the business processes that have been designed by the ATP team. FSPD Validation sessions began the week of June 27 and will continue until the first week of August.
Cross-Functional Work
The HR Strategy Team is working with the Finance and Research Administration Strategy Teams to incorporate cross-functional requirements and considerations in business process designs across each area. Some key touchpoints include Payroll Accounting, Recruitment, Position Funding, Position Management, Budgeting, and the redesign of the Chart of Accounts.
What’s Next
The team will continue to meet with Focus Group members and subject matter experts (SMEs) as we design the future state business processes. The team will be conducting weekly Architect Design (AD) sessions throughout the Architect Stage, which runs through November 2022.
Program News
As you may recall, ATP’s Steering Committee approved a recommendation last year to retire UDDS (Unit/Division/Department/Sub-department) and change UW’s organizational structure to align with Workday functionality. We will share more information about this decision as we assess the change impacts in the upcoming Configure & Prototype Stage.
