HART Local Implementation Managers Transition to work within Distributed Business Tenants for Enterprise and Self-Service Analytics
The original Ad Hoc Reporting Project, which began as a centrally funded project solely intended to replace BRIO as the self-service reporting tool for the original populations using the Harvard Analytics and Reporting Tool (HART) for its enterprise dashboards, has evolved in the last two years into the much larger, expanded, Administrative Reporting and Analytics Program.
When the program had a centralized model, a Local Implementation Managers Group made sense, as a fully centralized system for analytics development worked best with one group of representatives from Harvard schools/units working together to recommend prioritization of enhancements, bug fixes, training, upgrade testing, etc.
Now that the program has transitioned to a decentralized development model, each tenant group will be interacting with its tenants, and the tenant leads has been/will be formalizing their interaction models with their populations. Each tenant group will be working with the Central HART Platform Team.
As a result of the transition, the need for two business interaction groups is duplicative. Thus, as we move into operations beginning in FY23, all business interaction activities will now be managed by each individual HART tenancy. For example, within the Finance tenancy, those who currently serve as LIMs here could now participate in the Financial Reporting and Analytics Working Group governance structure.
The central HART Platform team would like to thank the Local Implementation Managers for the remarkable work it performed over the past four years, communicating changes about HART to the community, assisting in upgrade testing and the overall efforts made to the transition to OAS and improvements to it making it much easier for the entire community.
The team is looking forward to continuing to work with the business tenants as we continue the journey to provide a world-class administrative data platform for the University!
