Portal Deployment Task Force

Commission and Goals
The Deployment Task Force will develop recommendations for features to be rolled out, when the features will be rolled out, and for defining the populations to whom the portal will be made available – for both the prototype and the production rollout. This task force must coordinate recommendations with the Technical Development Team and must communicate closely with the Outreach Team. Areas of consideration include:

• feasibility of feature development within specified timeframes
• balancing technical requirements with student requests
• coordinating portal features with campus process requirements
• specifying the length of time for prototype deployment (start and end dates)
• prototype test results and subsequent production rollout requirements

Timeframe

• Prototype deployment recommendations prepared for Core Team preliminary review at February 24, 2003 meeting.
• Final draft prototype deployment plan signed off by Core and Technical Development Teams by March 5th.
• Prototype deployment plan presented to Steering Team review at March 11, 2003 meeting.
• Production deployment plan detailed efforts will begin at the conclusion of the prototype test, with the expectation that the plan will be approved by May 16th.
