Methodology to Sample Clauses

Methodology to achieve the objectives of the project, in particular the provision of integrated services Overall Project Methodologies and Structure The EMI project is strongly oriented to the provision of software and services in support to the operational activities of EGI, PRACE and other DCIs and to the scientific user communities who rely on the distributed computing infrastructures for their research. EMI needs to be able to carry out software development activities to consolidate, standardize and evolve its middleware components and at the same time provide timely and efficient maintenance and support services and release management services to its users. The EMI project methodologies and structure are modelled on standard software engineering concepts used by small and large distributed development activities, both commercial and open source, and on the processes described by the ITIL guidelines, the world most widely accepted approach to IT service management. In particular EMI adopts two concepts from ITIL, those of Functions and Services. The Functions provide project-wide support within the project to the Services; they allow to make economies of scale and to provide a coherent coordination framework to all Services enforcing common guidelines and rules, tools, processes and collaborative environments. The Functions are implemented by the project Work Packages. The Services, conversely, are specific activities provided by the project to the users (both infrastructure providers and research communities) in well defined technical areas. Essentially the Services correspond to the various middleware services and components (or tightly integrated groups of them) that must result in production-quality releases of software to the infrastructures and any related support activities. The Services are implemented by the project Product Teams. In addition, they implement the concept of „self-organizing‟ development teams, which is at the core of modern Agile development methodologies like Scrum. While the Functions (Work Packages) are static and form the structure of the EMI project, the Services (Product Teams) are dynamic and can change during the project execution, as middleware services are phased out or introduced in response to the requirements agreed with the infrastructures and the users. They constitute the project Service Catalogue and are the object of Service Level Agreements in order to better formalize the relationship between EMI and the major infrastructu...

Each subcommittee shall provide to the Head of the affected Department a final report no later than thirty (30) weeks after the date of the MOU ratification. The Department Head who receives a final report will meet with the LMC to provide feedback on the report, indicating areas of acceptance and explaining the reasons for rejecting any of the recommendations in the report.

  • Program Evaluation The School District and the College will develop a plan for the evaluation of the Dual Credit program to be completed each year. The evaluation will include, but is not limited to, disaggregated attendance and retention rates, GPA of high-school-credit-only courses and college courses, satisfactory progress in college courses, state assessment results, SAT/ACT, as applicable, TSIA readiness by grade level, and adequate progress toward the college-readiness of the students in the program. The School District commits to collecting longitudinal data as specified by the College, and making data and performance outcomes available to the College upon request. HB 1638 and SACSCOC require the collection of data points to be longitudinally captured by the School District, in collaboration with the College, will include, at minimum: student enrollment, GPA, retention, persistence, completion, transfer and scholarships. School District will provide parent contact and demographic information to the College upon request for targeted marketing of degree completion or workforce development information to parents of Students. School District agrees to obtain valid FERPA releases drafted to support the supply of such data if deemed required by counsel to either School District or the College.

  • JOB EVALUATION The work of the provincial job evaluation steering committee (the JE Committee) will continue during the term of this Framework Agreement. The objectives of the JE Committee are as follows: • Review the results of the phase one and phase two pilots and outcomes of the committee work. Address any anomalies identified with the JE tool, process, or benchmarks. • Rate the provincial benchmarks and create a job hierarchy for the provincial benchmarks. • Gather data from all school districts and match existing job descriptions to the provincial benchmarks. • Identify the job hierarchy for local job descriptions for all school districts. • Compare the local job hierarchy to the benchmark-matched hierarchy. • Develop a methodology to convert points to pay bands - The confirmed method must be supported by current compensation best practices. • Identify training requirements to support implementation of the JE plan and develop training resources as required. Once the objectives outlined above are completed, the JE Committee will mutually determine whether a local, regional or provincial approach to the steps outlined above is appropriate. It is recognized that the work of the committee is technical, complicated, lengthy and onerous. To accomplish the objectives, the parties agree that existing JE funds can be accessed by the JE committee to engage consultant(s) to complete this work. It is further recognized that this process does not impact the established management right of employers to determine local job requirements and job descriptions nor does this process alter any existing collective agreement rights or established practices. When the JE plan is ready to be implemented, and if an amendment to an existing collective agreement is required, the JE Committee will work with the local School District and Local Union to make recommendations for implementation. Any recommendations will also be provided to the Provincial Labour Management Committee (PLMC). As mutually agreed by the provincial parties and the JE Committee, the disbursement of available JE funds shall be retroactive to January 2, 2020. The committee will utilize available funds to provide 50% of the wage differential for the position falling the furthest below the wage rate established by the provincial JE process and will continue this process until all JE fund monies at the time have been disbursed. The committee will follow compensation best practices to avoid problems such as inversion. The committee will report out to the provincial parties regularly during the term of the Framework Agreement. Should any concerns arise during the work of the committee they will be referred to the PLMC. Create a maintenance program to support ongoing implementation of the JE plan at a local, regional or provincial level. The maintenance program will include a process for addressing the wage rates of incumbents in positions which are impacted by implementation of the JE plan. The provincial parties confirm that $4,419,859 of ongoing annual funds will be used to implement the Job Evaluation Plan. Effective July 1, 2022, there will be a one-time pause of the annual $4,419,859 JE funding. This amount has been allocated to the local table bargaining money. The annual funding will recommence July 1, 2023.
