This team needs to communicate project status to other people in their area. Below the Implementation Project Team are the Module Teams for Core, Financial Aid, Admission, Residence Life, HR, Payroll, Finance and Student System. Under each Module Team are the Task Teams , which are for specific areas within each module. For example, the Finance Module includes Task Teams for GL, AR, AP, etc. Decision Making Decision making goes up the hierarchy from task team to module team to project team to steering committee, if necessary.
Escalation occurs only if one level is unable to reach a decision.
It's important to remember where you are in the structure at any g iven time, since the same person will very likely serve on several different levels. The users of the software are not necessarily the implementers. If your role is to make a process decision, you are on a task team. But if your role is as a viewer of the information, you may be invited to give input during a focus group meeting, but yo u would not be part of the implementation team. This module is planned to go live by August 1.
