Path
  • Assign a project champion
  • Obtain corporate buy-in and support
  • Identify and empower a program team
  • Develop and execute to the program plan
  • Communicate, communicate, communicate
Product Description The Connected Learning Solution, a product suite that integrates all major campus technologies, enables colleges and universities to implement enhanced teaching and learning models. The Connected Learning Solution provides access to personalized information, online courses and other e-learning resources, administrative services, community information, and communication tools.
Lessons Learned
  • A project champion does not a program make
  • Clearly define objective: product vs. feature vs. function
  • Must be tightly aligned with company’s strategic initiatives and business goals
  • Must have contingency plans for “unknowns”
