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.

UT Works Program Phase 1 Spring Update shares the latest news for each module included in Phase 1, including Operations & Maintenance (O&M), Capital Planning and Project Management (CPPM), and ReADY (Request Forms).

UT Works Program Phase 1 Fall Update shares the current status of each module included in Phase 1, including Operations & Maintenance (O&M), Capital Planning and Project Management (CPPM), and ReADY (Request Forms).

This spring saw the kick-off of work on the Capital Planning and Project Management (CPPM) module. The first round of design sessions began in April and will run until late June.

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.
