Deliverables and Overall Status
Current Status
Change Management Board, Phase 1
No status
Staff Transition
There is a lot of work to be completed by 9/1. The milestone “Staff Transition Plans complete” was not made as
scheduled on 7/1. The 3-signed TSAs (was SLAs) by 7/15 are in serious jeopardy of being missed.
Service Catalog
We have published the service pages for CruzMail, CruzTime, and CruzNet. The deliverable for the catalog
assessment will be moved into a separate effort later this year. This leaves the catalog editing/change process as
the final deliverable before this project can be closed.
Server / Storage Consolidation
Revised schedule to pull in VM release. Storage portion is second priority until VM recommendations are
complete.
Application Solutions
A project charter needs to be completed, vetted and approved by SMT. Definition of the project has not made
progress this month.
Desktop Support, Phase 1
Weekly meetings have been scheduled with the DLs to review project materials and deliverables. Created a web
site for general project information and draft deliverables. http://itsm.ucsc.edu/desktop Enabled a web discussion
board to collect input on deliverables. Project risk remains red due to many dependencies with other efforts.
Instructional Technology Review, Phase 2
Creating final report. Close out project on 7/7.
Information Worker Rate Model, Phase 1
The scope of this project is currently under evaluation by Larry and Meredith.

If it really was a no–brainer to make it on your own in business there’d be millions of no–brained, harebrained, and otherwise dubiously brained individuals quitting their day jobs and hanging out their own shingles. Nobody would be left to round out the workforce and execute the business plan. | Bill Rancic
