The production of the redesigned business processes document involved extensive consultations with the Standards and Technical teams within the project, project partners and external sources including CETIS, JISC, Vendors and external consultants. By September 2002 a final draft setting out the procedures for transacting data between partners was circulated for approval.
Ongoing work in the Standards team in respect of the learner records led to further changes in the business processes documentation. In January 2003, a draft Business Process Implementation Plan was produced, which included an individual action based document for each partner in the consortium. By now, the Memorandum of Agreement between the consortium members had been signed, with changes made to student registration forms to achieve compliance with the Data Protection Act.
In March 2003, a series of 'use cases' (specifications of tests conducted from a users perspective) were developed, and used to 'walk through' the business processes at each partner institution. At that same time, the project entered into agreements with a software company (Phosphorix) who had been providing technical support to the project after the earlier loss of the technical team leader to another post.
In late Spring 2003, visits were taking place at 11 institutions interested in forming part of phase 2 of the project, where the core partnership of 5 was to expand. A number of schools expressed an interest in joining phase 2, and this extension was endorsed by the Project Board and JISC.
