MEETING NOTES
DISCUSSION
- YaleSecure wireless was having issues and Cheryl, Mark and Julio needed to leave to handle support for the issues for a portion of the meeting.
- Release went as planned this weekend. Have heard no feedback or fallout from the release.
- START Replacement go-live is now going to be sequenced with the IAM updates. This may delay the release of START replacement until sometime between September and December.
- START replacement will depend on the IAM structure for some of its request fulfillment and approvals
- Client Accounts would be negatively impacted if the START Replacement goes live before the IAM integration. They have automated workflow currently available in START that would not be available in ServiceNow until the IAM integration.
- Lou Tiseo brought up concerns about the ITSM team not following the Change process with the weekly releases. Discussion to continue with Bill, Lou, Ricardo and Chloe offline.
- The group would like to nail down the process of how enhancements are requested (and defects are logged) and how they make it from a request to release. We can discuss this process at one of our upcoming meetings.
- Ricardo met with Russell Sharp regarding the need for more resources.
- Russell has agreed that we can use more resources and perhaps a restructuring of our current team to ensure we have a technical lead with enough time allocation to perform their duties and enough technical resources. Russell has also agreed that we are also in need of more BA resources to assist with requirements gathering.
- Ricardo will take the list of enhancements/defects and break the work into chunks (e.g. defect fixes, service request form creation/changes)
