This sunshine and burst of warm weather has really increased my energy, which is a good thing because there’s a lot going on!
At a recent directors meeting, we reviewed and prioritized projects for the next quarter. This included a large number of compliance and mandatory projects, such as FAFSA simplification, the South Dakota tuition reciprocity end, and regulatory changes to our transcript hold practices. We also have a slate of upcoming projects related to improving efficiency or the student experience. That being said, we really need to focus on these mandatory items for the next quarter.
In my opinion, the ASR structure we’ve implemented for prioritization is paying off: We are prioritizing high-value work, refining our ability to predict team bandwidth, and saying “no” when we need to. I am able to provide stakeholders with strong explanations for why work is on hold, scheduled for a future quarter, or realistically unlikely to move forward. If you would like to know about this process and how work is prioritized or not, I would appreciate your feedback! We are always striving to improve our communication and transparency.
