Internal Working Group

We have setup an internal working group (members: Amrit Gata-Aura, Dairy Fan, Jessica Garnham, Karen Bradley, Matt Broadey, Max Camara, Rachel Emmott, Stephen Keeble) to act as a critical friend to the project and steer progress. The group first met on 26th February - key outcomes was the following guidance:

• Make it simple for staff with "How do I...." to support us as we transition from two to one workspace

• Provide guidance about things that will change (such as the global address book)

• Provide some demonstrators that show staff how things will work, to address anxiety around the transition - we have feed this into our discussions with Littlefish

• Make email formats clear - we use the format initial.surname@luu.ac.uk (e.g. j.hegarty-ditton@luu.ac.uk)

• Ensure that shared mailboxes (e.g. Activities@...) are part of planning

The project team's follow-up is to engage with managers.

Design kick-off with Littlefish

LUU and a representative of the supporting university project team met with Littlefish last week to begin the process of designing our transition. There's a very technical focus to this but we will share any updates that may be relevant for staff.

• We have launched this website (https://microsoft.luu.org.uk/) as part of our goal to ensure staff have regular updates about the project and can see how they will be affected and supported throughout the transition.
