Over the past ten weeks, the Unit Testing of UT Works modules achieved an important milestone by ensuring all the parts of the Operations & Maintenance (O&M), Capital Planning and Project Management (CPPM), Go Mobile modules, and their related components perform as expected before End-to-End (E2E) testing can begin. The inclusion of teams from each involved in the UT Works Program was critical in completing testing. These participants completed over 70 different test scenarios during the unit testing period, providing valuable feedback to the implementation team.

At every step in the process, through planning, initial design, and design confirmation, the UT Works Program has worked with the units that will be using the final product to gain insight and feedback on their processes and how UT Works can help each unit successfully implement the new system.

On Tuesday, June 20, the UT Works Program will release Prototype 2 (P2) of the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) module at a launch event kicking off the Design Confirmation process. This milestone comes after obtaining approvals from the units taking part in the program of the design recommendations documents generated by the two rounds of design sessions, which concluded at the end of March 2023.

The UT Works Program passed an important milestone when the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Design Sessions concluded at the end of March.

Completed in December, the first round of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) design sessions produced the first recommendation documents for review and validation by representatives in the participating units. Design sessions provide a forum for exchanging ideas and best practices as participants work together to determine how the UT Works program will improve business processes by leveraging the functionality of the technical system.

The Design Phase of the UT Works program is kicking off in November with preliminary design sessions with “The Core Design Team,” representatives from Facilities Planning and Management (FPM), Enterprise Business IT Solutions (eBITS), Utilities and Energy Management (UEM), Technology Resources (TRecs), and Business Financial Services (BFS). The Core Design Team will be responsible for making configuration and process decisions with the goal of a “one business process for one business need,” a core tenant of the UT Works program. The Core Design Team was selected by the UT Program Oversight Committee.
