DegreeWorks Project Status

PHASE I

  • Curriculum Verification: Using the current catalog, degree requirements are formulated by DegreeWorks staff and verified by academic departments.
  • Hardware and Software Installation: Three separate environments will be developed to support DegreeWorks; development, test, and production. Each requires hardware setup and software installation. Hardware used for the proof of concept will be used for the development and test configuration. New hardware will be purchased for the production configuration.

PHASE II

  • Scribing: Scribe is the program language used to code the degree requirements in DegreeWorks. Scribing of the requirements takes place after the hardware and software are in place and curricula have been verified.
  • Functionality Review: All DegreeWorks functionality must be reviewed to determine what will be useful for Georgia Tech and how it will be used at Georgia Tech.
  • Technical Setup: Technology staff must configure DegreeWorks to correctly extract and process the data from Banner.

PHASE III

  • Testing: Once a curriculum has been scribed it needs to be tested. Registrar staff members will complete a first round of testing. The curriculum will then be tested by the academic department to verify that the requirements are accurate and DegreeWorks is accurately processing those requirements.
  • Training: Training will be required for academic department advisors who will use DegreeWorks.

PHASE IV

  • Phased Go Live: Curricula will be rolled out in a phased approach, likely over a four or five month time frame. Rollout is expected to begin during fall 2009. Rollout will begin once the DegreeWorks production environment is ready, the curriculum has been scribed and tested, and academic department advisors have been trained.
