GCmobility Discussion Series
The first three part of a multi part discussion series unpacks GCmobility concepts one at a time. THis approach aims to generate conversation while providing healthy debate or confirmation of assumptions that we are making about mobility. We look forward to engaing you in each of these discussions * Why the GCmobility Initiative Matters (Part 1) * The GCmobility Context (Part 2) * The GCmobility Problem Statement (Part 3)
GCmobility Video Series
- Recording of an earlier draft presentation. At 37 min it captures that full context of what we are trying to do within GCmobility. Other trimmed down versions are pending as we work with exported Webex videos.
- Accessibility Accommodation Adaptive Computer Technology (AAACT)
- GCmobility conferencing for remote employees workshop and Owl Labs product demonstration
Iteration Scrum Update
What have we been working on
- Experimenting with the format of these Iteration updates (some good feedback so far)
- Our initial stage of Stakeholder Engagement is wrapping up
- We have already been working on compiling and analysing some of our findings
- Compiling data from Free Agent Journey Mapping
- Instead of developing a "one pager" we developed a wiki page to act as a landing page for GCmobility
What will We work on
- We are looking to grow the GCmobility team through vehicles like micro missions as we currently do not have any salary funding
- While a Wiki is going to be useful, we feel there is a need for an info graphic
- Preparing to present to SSC Enterprise Architecture Council will require some more work on our Enterprise Architecture model.
- Then we would like to start experimenting with business models for GCmobility using the business model canvas
What blocks are we facing
- Mobility is a complex problem with lots of people and inter related projects
- Currently GCmobility has a "yellow" light for full stakeholder engagement. Management wants to know the who/how/what. So we are co-designing this piece with our community, you!(stay tuned)
- We are in the process of submitting an updated presentation for Executive update and approval.
New Issues added to the backlog
- GCmobility needs to develop value propositions for more stakeholder groups to get increased buy-in
- We are working on our next 100 Steps. Currently we have a Mind Map, which will evolve into a spreadsheet and eventually get imported into our project tracking system
Interesting things we are learning
- learned how to split a screen in windows 10
- learned about https://alpha.canada.ca/en/index.html (Thanks Gray)
