Changed Percent Complete from 45% to 50%.
D2L Widget - More new users. Analytics ongoing. Based on data and feedback, users find it useful without any customization and don't really click around/haven't needed to click around/explore the rest of the functionality. Feedback survey has been sent twice to original adopters and once to the second wave with little response. :-( ( despite reminder messages ) Feedback received has been positive, just minimal. Explored a more 'universal' storage mechanism for the custom settings, but due to that code being stored/retrievable from D2L by most anyone in a course, left storage as browser local. latest video demo: https://mediaspace.minnstate.edu/media/Early+Warning+Widget+Demo+-+261026/1_nsbdyfpa

Journey: Course Registration - Completed journey session for 3 advisors (1 professional staff and 2 faculty members). Working on brainstorming for the parts to hand off to Amy's team for a second part of the iteration. Status is currently at yellow due to the factor that we are at least one week late on that.

Power BI Dashboard - Complete.
Moving to operational state. Training scheduled with advisors at the end of October. Team will continue to gather and document feedback. Will not be making any changes or enhancements until next semester.

Description

The Business Intelligence & Digital Experience for Retention (BI-DX) initiative is a focused Tiger Team effort designed to improve student retention through the combination of predictive analytics, instructor awareness, and student-centered experience design.
Unlike traditional division projects, BI-DX will operate outside standard project ceremonies and sprint structures in order to accelerate learning, experimentation, and delivery. The initiative will use a focused team-of-teams model, bringing together ITS staff, Husky Agency student workers, and subject matter experts to rapidly advance defined outcomes over a five-week iteration.
