Data Warehouse Expansion Project Project Overview Spring 2017 LEARN. DO. LIVE
Purpose The purpose. Expand the reporting capabilities of the data warehouse by providing dynamic dashboards, self-service analytics, and new data marts.
Objectives How? Design relevant dynamic dashboards and self-service analytics populated by functional data marts: 1. To validate the current environment and ensure best practice, an initial assessment will be performed by an expert consultant. 2. Utilize an expansion team to define the scope of the project (e.g., the number of dashboards with which to go-live). 3. Meet with key stakeholders to discuss institutional goals and how best how to measure them (e.g., RCM, enrollment, accreditation, and time-to-degree). 4. Discover, define, extract,and load data so as to create a data schema (skeleton structure that defines data organization, relations, and constraints). 5. Apply best practice data visualization design to measurements in an online userinterface such as dashboards.

Task Force on Trend Reporting (2011) 16 member task force -- representing all divisions was directed to submit a written report containing recommendations to resolve reporting situation on campus. Responsible for providing comprehensive inventory of key trends and performance indicators. These trends would serve as regular summary reporting in a dashboard format while being monitored frequently in greater detail. A web-based management information system that provides selfservice reporting access both to the President s Cabinet and to a wider audience.
Task Force on Trend Reporting (2011)
Task Force on Trend Reporting (2011) Of the master list of 643 reporting options of key trends and performance indicators, 26 reporting options were decided upon for regular reporting to the President s Cabinet.
Task Force on Trend Reporting (2011) Preference given to trends that aligned with: The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) The National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO). (NACUBO definitions and standards for financial reporting measures are adopted in IPEDS.) The Common Data Set Initiative. The National Study of Instructional Costs and Productivity managed by the University of Delaware. (This study provides discipline-specific benchmarks, not just on instructional activity, but also on sponsored research and public service.) The Public Centralized Higher Education Enrollment System (PCHEES) managed by the State of Washington Office of Financial Management (OFM). The Complete to Compete accountability measures developed by the National Governor s Association. (These measures were recommended by the State of Washington Task Force on Higher Education; and Governor Gregoire s budget bill directs OFM to evaluate the performance of CWU and the other Washington public higher education institutions by these measures when making higher education appropriation recommendations.) The Accountability Framework Report on Higher Education provided to the Washington State Legislature by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB).
Task Force on Trend Reporting (2011) Why was preference given? Nationally recognized affiliations adhere and calculate numbers using the same data definitions. Work smarter, not harder.
