CORE GOVERNANCE
** CORE Upgrade Update **
Update to CORE System Change Management Process
The CORE Governance Committee (CGC) and the Performance Budget Steering Committee (PBSC) are committed to enhancing the CORE user experience via the upgrade with intentional collaboration, communication, and coordination across stakeholders. We will achieve this by temporarily modifying the process for receiving, reviewing, and accepting CGC/PBSC requests.
During the CORE Upgrade:
● Minimal changes will be permitted: statutory configuration, standard interfaces, severe patches, and statutory-driven training collateral
● Approximately 3 Months before going live - full change freeze for all areas
● Agencies can continue to submit CORE Governance Committee (CGC) or Performance Budget Steering Committee (PBSC) requests which will be addressed after go-live of the Upgrade
● CORE and Performance Budgeting cyclical processes will be achieved per normal schedule and approach
● Any exceptions to the above will require CGC or PBSC approval
These changes are effective December 1, 2022.
The CORE Operations Team will be using an Agile approach with different deliverables for each 2-week sprint. The schedule is still under development, but in the meantime, we invite you to consider being a Change Champion. If you are interested please complete the form located here. After you state your interest, the CORE Operations Team will be contacting you with more details.
