When will counties receive additional information and details regarding the various stages/activities defined in the Directors packet and the associated roles and responsibilities?
A Some implementation activities, such as those described in Section 3 of the Director’s Packet – Initiation Stage, will be the same for all counties and will begin immediately following EDS’ start on July 1, 2008. During the initiation stage county activities for the other phases will be further defined. Following the release of the Rollout Schedule, counties will be able to identify when activities for each phase will begin as follows: Engagement and Implementation activities will commence seven months before each county’s “Go Live” date on the Rollout Schedule. Pre-Engagement Stage activities will begin 13 months prior to the start of Engagement and Implementation activities. Post Implementation Stage activities will begin immediately following “Go Live” and will continue for three months. As the project proceeds, additional county-specific information will be provided. Counties will be provided many opportunities to ask questions, get clarification, and participate in the planning
