Identity Management Functional Committee

The IdM Functional Committee was formed to assist and guide the Identity Management Infrastructure Project from a functional perspective. Our first meeting was held on June 20th, 2008, at the beginning of the Analysis and Planning Phase of the IdM Project. The Committee met bi-monthly throughout the Analysis Phase, and in coordination with the project team, worked in close coordination with inSolutions to define and establish the baseline set of requirements and the detailed design for the Phase I delivery. In addition to the regular meetings, several break-out sessions held with individual members of the group to drill-down and capture the specifics around their respective organizations and units. The IdM Functional Committee was instrumental in capturing the requirements, defining the direction and outlining the strategy and approach that the technical team would leverage throughout the implementation of the Phase I system.

The specific deliverables that emerged as a result of the coordinated analysis and planning efforts were:

 

  • A Business Requirements / Project Scope Document which made clear the boundaries of the work effort and outlined exactly what the solution would do and for whom.
  • A Functional Requirements Document which contained the initial definition of the proposed system by detailing the programmatic requirements, management requirements, operating environment and other requirements that were necessary to meet the business goals and objectives.
  • Workflows and Business Processes which captured the detailed 'scenarios' of how the University functions with respect to a user's lifecycle throughout their affiliation with the University and represented such cases as account creation, account modification, management and governance, exception processes, reporting, and account removal.
  • A Detailed Design Specification representing the details of how the system would be built.
