The Student Sunrise project’s leadership and project teams will adhere to the following guiding principles while managing the project, including when making decisions, designing new systems and processes, and engaging the university community.
Understand Impact
The decisions we make will impact groups differently. These impacts need to be assessed, documented and shared through effective connection and collaboration with university stakeholders and end users.
Adopt Common Practices
We will leverage the functionality of Workday to its fullest, adopting common practices wherever possible.
Improve Experience
Our new student system is for our students, faculty and the academic staff that support them. Creating an improved experience is paramount.
Prioritize
Our new student system will continue to evolve. Our initial scope should be manageable to what we can effectively and successfully implement at this time.
Reduce Administrative Burden
Wherever possible, we will reduce administrative burden with our new system and processes.
Embrace Change
This is an opportunity to be innovative and modernize.
Clearly Communicate
To ensure transparency, we will communicate clearly, frequently and directly, both internally within the project and externally to the university community.
Stay Nimble
We will make decisions at the pace needed to ensure we keep the implementation moving forward.
Utilize Governance
We use a clearly defined governance framework for planning, prioritizing and decision-making.
