Data Warehouse Update CWU’s data footprint is approximately 200 terabytes (TB); CWU generates over 20 TB of data each year. The extraction and transformation of these data into accurate and actionable information is mission- critical; we need to be able to understand our data to evolve our institution and ensure the success of our students. The Board of Trustees authorized funding for the Data Warehouse Expansion (DWE) project in February 2018. The data warehouse is a platform for faculty, staff, and external stakeholders to consume data through several different vehicles, such as self-service analytics, self-guided reports, web portals, and state/federal reporting tools. The DWE project was managed by the CWU Project Management Office (PMO) and will be completed on March 1, 2019 with a soft go-live . Project Management Prioritization: Rapid change and increasing financial and political pressure has made more urgent CWU’s increasing need to engage in integrated planning—for infrastructure, academic assessment, retention management, accreditation, and financial projects. The Project Management Office (PMO) prioritizes projects using a scoring matrix that emphasizes the value the project provides to the institution. The five top-priority projects being managed now are: 1. General Education Implementation
4. Data Warehouse Expansion 5. Capital Planning & Minor Works
2. Health Sciences construction 3. Dugmore Hall construction
