Week 2 Status Report
Team members have made significant progress towards organizing themselves into four main sub-teams. These four teams are: 1) Project Management, 2) Information Gathering (Internal or NetHope Member Organization Focus), 3) Information Gathering (External Good/Best Practices Focus), and 4) Governance & Administration. These teams are in various stages of working out there main work activities and deliverables, which will be a focus over the next two weeks as we focus on developing our Project Management Plan for delivering the “NetHope Project”. In addition, a rough schedule has been prepared for the next few weeks, but will require further iterative changes over the next several weeks as the project progresses.
Our main deliverable this week was the preparation of DRAFT Survey Questions, which is an art in itself. The timeframe was a challenge, but we believe we have some good draft questions prepared. The team also feels that a follow up interview likely will be necessary to pose future questions which may not be evident at this stage of the project, and/or to target the questions to select IT staff within the NetHope member organizations. It is being assumed that the respondents will be a wide variety of staff from within each NetHope Member organizations IT departments, presumably ones that have had some involvement with IT projects. The survey can be anonymous, though it is hoped that members will self-identify. In either case, individual survey responses will not be made public in such a way as to reveal the identity of the member organization, unless approval for such is received.
