MEETING NOTES

DISCUSSION

  1. Released one 3 items over the weekend.  There is an issue with the department mapping for many profiles.  Have created defect D-656 to correct this.  Note that this does not affect the DSP contract routing.
  2. This week we will be doing regression testing on ServiceNow for the IE10 upgrade.  Target for this testing to be completed is Friday, 9/20.
    1. A few other major applications have failed IE10 testing and so this is no longer a priority to complete the testing.  This will be completed however other testing work will not be set aside in order to complete this.
  3. Added item to priority list:  R-765 to make a change the DSP contracts to allow for better routing work between Faculty and Staff support.
  4. Process Owners are discouraged with the how quickly their items are moving through the pipeline.  Do not feel that we need to meet every week since CMDB and START priorities are still at the top of the list and other items below are not being completed as quickly as Process Owners would like.  We will cancel the next 2 process owner meetings so the CMDB work can regroup.  Going forward we will have the Process Owners meeting every 2 weeks.
