Change proposals from the following project teams have been completed:
· Small-Scale Renovation and Construction
· Travel Services
· Graduate Student Appointment Process
· Communications & Marketing
(phase one)
· Business Service Centers
In the spring of 2000, change proposals were also completed for selected processes within the Student Information Systems project. These proposals document the functionality of the existing system and discuss changes expected with the implementation of PeopleSoft. They will enable SFE to quantify the improvements generated by the new system over time.
Summaries of the change proposals for the following areas are available below:
· Web-based application
(Admissions)
· Bill presentation (Bursar)
· Billing inquiry (Bursar)
· Excess checks (Bursar)
· ISIR records (Financial Aid)
· Aid packaging (Financial Aid)
· Housing assignments (Housing)
· Confirmed registration (Registrar)
Hardcopy versions of the complete change proposals may be obtained by request from sfe@chancellor.umass.edu.
The change proposal is a key document within the SFE methodology. It typically contains the project team's analysis of the current situation and its recommendations for improvement. In preparing a change proposal, a project team is asked to include suggestions for:
· identifying opportunities for new revenue streams;
· redesigning administrative processes and organizational units;
· developing new public/private partnerships;
· retaining existing practices where appropriate.
In dialogue with the team leader and project sponsor, CCOR reviews the change proposal submitted by the project team, seeks community feedback, and prepares its own set of suggestions to inform implementation. The change proposal, accompanied by CCOR's suggestions, is discussed by CEAC and forwarded to the appropriate executive area for implementation by the project sponsor.
