Master Plan Notes

This is a reminder to put together a long term IM development plan.
  • include using Basecamp as the project management platform
  • establish development platform , and goal to move finished, tested apps to production server
  • start developing some sharepoint expertise with long term goal of RFK wide intranet
  • Pilot use of chat technology for non-emergency school-residence communications as well as replacement for several classes of residence logging, are transcripts good enough?
  • Develop prioritized list of development projects
  • Infrastructure for generic form based data collection to email to implementation agent, essentially single step nworkflow except that email can be combined with processing
  • Infrastructure for multi-step work flow, essentially web based checklist augmented with links to forms based steps, whose steps yield results that tie back into the flow
  • Prime candidates for collaborative data collection and reporting are
  1. face sheets
  2. incident reporting
  3. BDM and Grades
  4. take a look at external data requirements
