AY24 Goals and Projects Brainstorming (June 2024)

“Brain Dump” Possible AY24 Slate Team Projects

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.

• New items added in February, change text to blue

• Items completed, change text to strikethrough.

• Items that are are on hold are greyed out (even though this text is pale 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 involved 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.

  • Tableau training from TTS: https://tufts.myabsorb.com/#/instructor-led-courses/24e01a00-5...
