Introduction and Module Material
Introduction
In Module 4, you discovered your Root Cause Analysis and identified the Use Case Success Equation as well as the Requirements and specifications it would take to solve your success equation. In Module 5, your team will build awareness of the interoperability solution providers and district resources you will need to solve to be successful. This module will support your team in developing an implementation strategy and action plan to solve for an interoperability challenge.
- First, your district team will familiarize itself with the various interoperable solutions available.
- Your district team will also consider what kind of team you will need to support the solution to your use case. Specifically, does your district have the internal resources and capacity to implement the solution, or will you need a third-party vendor?
- To make this decision, your district will begin to outline the project parameters you plan to work within in terms of time, budget, and scope. This outline will be the early project plan for your district’s implementation strategy.
Throughout this course, you will see four types of activities. Depending on your district’s data readiness, you may want to review and complete all suggested activities and those essential for fulfilling the micro-credential requirements. Some activities will require assistance from your technology lead, and some activities can be projected during stakeholder meetings. Look for the following icons to signal “technology lead” or “group activity.”
Micro-credential activities are essential for preparing a Data Ready Project Plan and Pitch deck. These activities can be submitted as evidence for completing a micro-credential.
IT Lead Activities require the participation of your district or organization’s IT Lead.
Group activities that are to be completed by members of your cross-departmental teams.
Suggested resources to develop your understanding of data equity and interoperability.
A folder with resources is available to download at the beginning of each module via a link in each module’s Introduction and Module Material section. Depending on your district’s data readiness, you should review and complete all essential and suggested activities.
Throughout the module, you will be prompted with IGNITE questions meant for you to pause and reflect on current practices and/or policies within your district or organization. There are also knowledge checks for your understanding of key concepts and takeaways.
