Governance

The Workday Implementation project has established a governance framework to help facilitate project operations and decision-making. The governance structure, which includes representation from all affected functional areas and campuses, includes an Executive Committee, Steering Committee, and a Decision-Making Framework.

Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is the primary sponsor and champion for the project. The committee's primary focus is on the strategic components of the project, including project objectives, scope, and budget, while delegating the day-to-day operations of the project to the Steering Committee and/or the Project Team. The Executive Committee may also serve as the decision-maker and/or escalation point for institutionally impactful decisions, and unresolved major issues.

Decision Making Framework

The Decision-Making Framework is a structured approach for facilitating, communicating and documenting project decision-making. The framework includes categorizing decisions by type, and identifying the key decision-makers for each decision type, as well as procedures for communicating and documenting decisions. This framework is a key deliverable in the early phases of the project, and will be posted on this site after it is complete.
