As we wrap up the month of February, the Workday project is continuing to chug along. Actually, it is probably more accurate to say Workday is leaping forward.

Since the beginning of January project members have been extremely busy with End-to-end Testing. There are nearly 4,600 total scenarios that need to be tested. As of the end of February, about 4,000 of those have been completed, with a success rate of 94%. This testing window will continue through March 8.

The Organizational Change Management (OCM) team thought it would be a good idea to reward those who have been working diligently on the project for the last year, especially those heavily engaged in the current testing.

So, Sarah Persinger, the OCM Lead for the project, designed the "Workday 24 Celebration". On Thursday, January 24, beginning at 2:40 p.m., around 60 or so project members gathered to relax, socialize, and have fun as a reward for their tireless contributions. Many of the Executive Sponsors, Steering Committee members, project leads, testers, and even the Project Manager (Kent Covert), gathered in the Marcum Conference Center to partake in a series of 24 activity stations.

Activities ranged from arts and crafts, stretching, board games, massage chairs, and a visit from a pair of therapy dogs. Refreshments were provided, including the world-famous ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú Workday cookies.

The Workday Organizational Change Management (OCM) team is continuing to offer their "Roadshow" presentations throughout the spring and summer, leading up to the go-live for Workday Platform on July 1, 2024.

These presentations are being offered to any ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú group or department and can be delivered either in person or virtually. They provide an overview of the project to date, details about the timeline, and information on communication and training, as well as a short demo walkthrough of the application.

Through the end of February, there have been 38 Roadshow presentations given to a variety of different groups throughout the University, with 830 staff, faculty, and students in attendance.
