Add projects to the Eisenhower categories below--this is a brainstorming/draft, so projects can move around, just pick the category that makes the most sense right now to you. The goal is to capture all ideas/projects for further discussion.
If a project has been “promised” to a client change text to dark green.
New items added in December, change text to dark purple.

Meeting Notes
Enrollment Analytics
Chris S. doesn’t have a deliverable/done date, still cooking.
Maybe build a “phase 1” / proof of concept idea, and then add on to it from there. Ongoing working plan to improve data access.
OIR vs. Us - we are looking at the data from the POV of the schools, not necessarily what OIR thinks about.
Relationship between this and data governance? Linda doesn’t know.
Who determines which data points are used and who can add/edit them? Chris S. would say it is us, we need to be recommending/enforcing what is best for the University’s goals.
Chris S. believes he has the buy in for this being the University’s data at the EAD level at every school. Require standardization for what is best for the University.
What is OIR up to? Linda will try and figure out what OIR is up to and what Chris S. wants us to be invovled with.
Chris S. wants us to be learning Denodo. Linda sent link to training in email.
Linda thinks we have an enterprise license for Denodo.
Do the training first so you have some knowledge, then request access from Rachel.
In general next steps are to learn Denodo, start to understand what to do with it.
Take at least half of Friday / 1 day per week to start learning.
Partner with someone on Larry’s team to think about how to build things out and how we can access them.
Need to request accounts in Tableau and start learning Tableau as well.
Linda thinks that the analysts will need Denodo and Tableau access. Bruce Krasnoff has access to Tableau.
Reach out to Rachel Kell for assistance is OK.
Linda will contact the Data team to ask about Tableau.

Our Authority
Can we tell people not to use Quick Admit and they have to use Slate?
D1 uses quick admit, then sends people to enroll, “calling the component interface”
Vet is bad about this, Fletcher, and UVC somewhat
Linda is OK with removing access to quick admit for front-end users
Where we see we can improve processes and improve the quality of our data by adjusting business processes, we are empowered to go forward and do that.
We need to be at the table when talking about a vendor and from an integration and data perspective, this applies to marketing
What is Fletcher up to? Set up a meeting with Emily to talk about the new ways we’re talking about data, how can we be more partner/advisor to how you’re doing things.
Following best practice and standardize so we can give you back better information and data, need to be able to report the stuff that leadership wants.
