About this file

This document is the Program Management Plan for the FL WINS (Florida Workforce Innovation Network) Program, a multi-year initiative led by the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) in collaboration with several other state workforce agencies and partners, including the Florida Department of Children and Families, the Florida Department of Education, the Reimagining Education and Career Help (REACH) Office, the Florida Digital Service, and CareerSource Florida. The program aims to develop and implement a consumer-first, integrated workforce system for the state of Florida. Key components of the program include a customer portal, a common intake form, and an integrated data solution to improve coordination and service delivery across the participating workforce agencies. The program is currently in the Program Definition Phase and is expected to move into the Program Delivery Phase starting in January 2023, with the final Program Closure Phase expected by December 2026.

The program is subject to oversight from several federal, state, and program-level entities, including the US Department of Labor, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Florida Legislature, and the REACH Office. The program has also established a three-tiered governance framework to facilitate decision-making, with an Executive Steering Committee, Executive Program Sponsors, and a Program Management Team overseeing the various projects and workgroups. The document outlines the program's standards, tools, templates, procedures, and reporting and metrics, as well as the individual component plans that support the overall program management approach.

SECTION 2: OVERVIEW

The purpose of the FL WINS PgMP is to establish standardization in project management processes executed by FL WINS project teams and to facilitate the integrated processes essential to the successful execution of the Program.

The PgMP provides the approach, standards, and processes for component plans (such as Project Change Management) required to manage current and future FL WINS projects, meet customer expectations, and keep appropriate stakeholders informed and involved with Program progress.

The PgMP and its key integrated processes support:

▪ Effective communication of Program and project information among the various FL WINS stakeholders, including the Workforce Partners, FL WINS governance participants, FL WINS contractors, the Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) contractor, and other State oversight organizations

▪ Effective management of the complex risks and issues that arise because of the requirements and priorities of the various stakeholders

▪ Effective engagement of the individual stakeholders and FL WINS project teams to gain the necessary decisions on expected outcomes, project plans, and key deliverables

▪ Coordination of the numerous FL WINS projects and stakeholders by creating the framework to gain support, resolve conflicts, and direct the various teams

▪ Assessment of whether the outputs or outcomes of the component projects and activities contribute to the outcomes and benefits identified for the Program

▪ Promotion of continuous alignment of the Workforce Partners and FL WINS project teams

2.1 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Key elements of the FL WINS Program are summarized in this section. The approved FL WINS Program Charter is incorporated by reference in Attachment A.

The Program is responsible for the development and implementation of a consumer-first workforce system, ie FL WINS. To achieve the Reimagining Education and Career Help (REACH) Act’s goal of developing a “one-workforce strategy” consumer-first workforce system, the Program seeks to improve coordination among Workforce Partners and the delivery of workforce-related services to Floridians. Key features include:

▪ Preservation of existing Core Workforce Partner’s case management systems with integration through a data integration solution, accessible by each Workforce Partner that enables referrals from entity to entity while allowing for the most minimal impact to existing case management systems.

▪ Creation of a public-facing customer portal that includes a common intake form to minimize duplicate data entry and maximize the services provided by Workforce Partners.

▪ Enhance analytics and outcomes-based performance measurements to ensure that increased accountability, streamlining of services, universal access to Programs and services is provided to empower individuals to make informed decisions on options to meet their needs through the no-wrong-door approach.

FloridaCommerce Page 9 of 60

To move from the Core Workforce Partner systems current state to the anticipated future integrated state, the Program impacts business processes and technology capabilities at all Workforce Partner agencies. Separate from the FL WINS Program, each Workforce Partner must modernize their respective applications and systems to the minimum standards allowable to integrate with FL WINS. To meet this requirement, each Workforce Partner agency must:

▪ Evaluate requirements for system changes to meet minimum standards required by the Program

▪ Secure resources to achieve these updates according to the Program’s timeline

2.2 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT APPROACH

The program management approach described in the PgMP is based on industry standards and lessons learned from other programs. It is consistent with the State of Florida IT Project Management and Oversight Rule as it employs mostly traditional project management standards and practices, especially for the Initiation, Planning, and Closeout stages of a project. Agile ways of working are incorporated as necessary to allow for the most flexible approach to implement this Program and projects. The expectations of this hybrid approach are described in the appropriate component plans (e.g., Attachment R – Schedule Management Plan).

2.3 PROGRAM SUCCESS CRITERIA

The Schedule IV-B for Workforce Partner Systems Modernization, Fiscal Year 2023-24 identifies multiple criteria that must be realized for the Program to be considered a success. This table is in Appendix A, and Program Management Team members review and update it at least annually and as appropriate.

2.4 PROGRAM ASSUMPTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS

Assumptions are factors in the planning process considered to be true. Plans are inaccurate when assumptions are untrue, so it is important to confirm or correct assumptions. Attachment A – Program Charter identifies several assumptions and constraints in the categories of procurement, governance, partnership, and technology. They are included below along with additional assumptions and constraints that influence planning decisions. Program Management Team members review and update the assumptions and constraints at least annually and as appropriate.

Procurement Assumptions and Constraints

▪ Program success depends on procurement of the following contractors being completed or initiated no later than December 31, 2024.

› Customer Portal Project (CP) – in progress

› Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) - complete

› Workforce Integration Management project (WIM) – in progress

› Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) and Transformational Change Management (TCM) -complete

FloridaCommerce Page 10 of 60

Governance Assumptions and Constraints

▪ Governance establishment, execution, and support from Workforce Partners’ executive leadership on the overall program is critical to program success. The Workforce Integration Management (WIM) project will assist in executing and monitoring the governance model defined and approved for the Program.

▪ The WIM and Business Planning and Communications are primarily composed of non-technical projects that help the organization create a framework for coordinating and implementing the changes in strategy, policy, organization, business operations, and technology needed to transition to the desired target state. These projects will have a cross-department and program-wide approach. They should be undertaken as soon as possible and continue in conjunction with the Business & Technology Projects.

▪ The Program Management Team was established in the initial Program Management Plan and further elaborated in subsequent versions. Roles and responsibilities are established for Program Sponsors from each Workforce Partner Agency, who lead the Program Management Team. Each Workforce Partner Agency is supported with a Program Manager. Escalations within the Program Management Team, and up/down to other tiers, are led by two Program Directors – one from the REACH office and one from FloridaCommerce.

▪ This project category is focused on establishing the governance model and structural processes which will guide Workforce Partner systems integration projects to support this inter-agency initiative. This will include standards for setting priorities, project management, decision-making, issue escalation and resolution, cross departmental information technology and legal and policy collaboration and alignment, and tracking progress against expectations.

Key assumptions used to develop the detail for the WIM, Business and Technology projects include:

▪ Vendor shall adhere to state protocols, processes, and other key requirements in development of requirements, scope of work, and mobilization (and will make optimization recommendations as necessary)

▪ Procured vendors on the FL WINS Program are not expected to participate in any other procurement negotiations.

▪ Standardization of some business and technology procedures across agencies will be established to streamline processes and align priorities.

▪ Vendor shall adhere to state requirements (including the use of the Project Management Institute’s Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK)) in the development of the program charter and standards.

▪ State will provide dedicated resources in the business and technology areas to support overall program objectives for management in connection with vendor(s) and/or contractors.

▪ Each Workforce Partner is represented in multiple areas of the Program’s governance structure to provide the most collaborative and aligned vision for the future state. —

▪ Vendor shall provide integrated programmatic reporting (overall program and individual project statuses, risks, issues, etc.) to provide leadership (and other key stakeholders) with information required to make business decisions.

FloridaCommerce Page 11 of 60

› This is currently being handled by monthly status reporting and through the Transformational Change Management Office. When the Program Management Office (PMO) re-release of procurement closes in fall 2023, the expectation is to have the PMO manage the programmatic reporting on a more frequent basis than monthly.

Partnership Assumptions and Constraints

▪ A known constraint is establishing and maintaining a shared vision among the Workforce Partners.

This is a critical dependency for the long-term success of the Program, as different visions could arise among Workforce Partners that could hinder the success of the Program. Crucially, Workforce Partners must agree on a shared vision from the start and sustain it throughout the life of the Program and its related projects.

▪ The FL WINS PMO must establish and maintain the risk management and resources of the Program.

The FL WINS PMO assists in establishing overall change management requirements.

▪ Program Management Team members must work with each Workforce Partner agency through the Transformational Change Management vendor to establish a Change Management and Communication Plan that will be a living document and updated as the Program matures. The plan helps ensure the Program’s goals and objectives are clearly defined and communicated throughout the life of the Program. Program success is critically dependent on the level of engagement and effort from all Workforce Partner agencies, stakeholders, and other supporting contractors.

▪ Workforce Partner agencies will appoint adequate subject matter experts to participate and/or serve roles (as necessary) in the establishment and ongoing responsibilities of the data governance and enterprise architecture functions.

▪ Legal and policy experts representing the Workforce Partners and programs are integral to the success of FL WINS. Establishing and maintaining the Legal Policy Workgroup is critical for the Program’s initiation and success in ensuring accurate, timely, and consistent interpretation of all new and existing laws, regulations, and policies relevant to system design and development throughout the Program. The Legal Policy Workgroup must assist in other relevant activities as needed.

▪ Information Technology subject matter experts representing the Workforce Partners and specific focal areas are integral to the success of FL WINS. Establishing and maintaining a shared technological vision is required for relevant system design and implementation of the future state solution.

▪ Fluctuating position vacancies could result in uneven levels of engagement among Workforce Partners and stakeholders.

Technology Assumptions and Constraints

▪ Based on the current state technology assessment of each Workforce Partner system, some systems operate on modern technology platforms while others operate on aging technology platforms. To avoid potential constraints to the Program’s success, some business and technical systems in the Workforce Partner agencies must be maintained/consolidated, retired/replaced, or improved.

▪ Establishing and developing IT Operations and Management functionality includes aspects for data governance, system architecture governance, and IT shared services. The technology portions of the Program include several groups and teams responsible for many project tasks needed to achieve interoperability of shared data and services.

FloridaCommerce Page 12 of 60

▪ The business value and technical quality (BV/TQ) of these current state systems has been assessed.

However, in the past year the Business Process Reengineering project validated in-scope programs and applications and found the original assessment to be incomplete. To ensure that the BV/TQ of each in scope program and system is accurate, there are ongoing efforts to conduct gap analyses and to ensure that the FL WINS Program accounts for other Workforce Partner modernization efforts. This is a continuous and ongoing initiative throughout the life of the Program.

▪ Technology future state solution should be determined and agreed upon by all Workforce Partner Information Technology Core Team members.

Overarching Assumptions and Constraints

It is assumed:

▪ The FL WINS Program continues to receive the required appropriations.

▪ Program team members, including Workforce Partners, subject matter experts, current and future solution providers, and FL WINS contractors, are available when needed.

▪ All work is completed according to the approved schedule(s) and dependencies are proactively communicated and managed.

▪ Workspace, meeting rooms, system permissions, and necessary equipment (e.g., Wi-Fi, audio/visual devices, office space, access to FL WINS Repository) are available when needed.

The Program is constrained by:

▪ The availability of funding. While the program is appropriated $250 million in total, the program must request, and be granted, spending authority beyond the $25 million authorized for FY 2022-23.

▪ Funding deadlines. FloridaCommerce has been appropriated $250 million in General Revenue funds that utilize the U.S. Treasury, State Fiscal Recovery Fund (SFRF), as authorized by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. SFRF funds may be used to cover eligible costs incurred during the period that began on March 3, 2021, and ends on December 31, 2024. All funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and must be expended by December 31, 2026.

› There is a $10 million setback in the $250 million appropriated, the Program must maintain that there is $240 million to be obligated by 12/31/2024.

▪ The availability and diverse locations of resources. The FL WINS Program is comprised of state employees from five different workforce partners and consultants from multiple firms all mostly working from different locations. This impacts the ability for impromptu discussion and collaboration.

SECTION 4: PROGRAM STRUCTURE FOR STAKEHOLDERS ON

TEAMS AND WORKGROUPS

In accordance with Section 14.36, F.S., the REACH Office is responsible for oversight, facilitation, and coordination of all Workforce Partner agencies essential to implementing a consumer-first workforce system.

FloridaCommerce is the budget authority for the FL WINS Program with the fiduciary responsibility to procure contractors and monitor the contractual requirements of the executed contracts ensuring deliverables and measures comply with Procurement of Personal Property and Services, per Chapter 287, F.S.

The FL WINS Program and its component projects meet the requirements for oversight per the Florida Information Technology Project Management and Oversight Standards in Chapter 60GG-1, F.A.C. Thus, the FL WINS Program is subject to oversight from FL[DS] and an IV&V contractor.

4.1 PROGRAM ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This section is intended to identify stakeholders who have specific roles and responsibilities within the Program. Attachment V – Functional Program Roles and Responsibilities, Program Functions, Roles, and Responsibilities, lists the general roles and the responsibilities for individuals relative to FL WINS Program functions. These roles and responsibilities are influenced by the following expectations:

▪ Most of the design/build work is conducted by contractors and staff augmentation resources.

▪ Workforce Partners’ subject matter experts (SMEs) are engaged as needed.

▪ Workforce Partner Program Managers are dedicated full time to the FL WINS Program and have responsibilities between the governance tiers.

Specific governance roles and responsibilities for workgroups, teams, and individuals within these groups are discussed in Section 5, Program Governance.

SECTION 5: PROGRAM GOVERNANCE

Governance refers to the structure, processes, tools, and templates that enable effective decision-making through a hierarchy of groups that provide analysis and recommendations.

Effective governance enables management control of complex transformations by creating accountability at the right levels throughout the organization. Governance, executed effectively, controls the variables inherent in any large-scale transformation.

The goal of the FL WINS Program is to integrate existing departmental systems to allow for interoperability between multiple stakeholders and the Workforce Partners. To reach this goal, there must be a clear, robust, and repeatable decision-making framework to allow for the successful governing of the Program.

5.1 PROGRAM GOVERNANCE SCOPE

Exhibit 5-1: A three-tiered governance structure was approved on December 19, 2022, by the

FL WINS Program’s Executive Steering Committee, that has representation from the six

Workforce Partner Agencies involved in this initiative. The Three-Tier Governance Model, below, shows the system to facilitate the decision-making processes involved with the Program.

The committee, sponsors, teams and/or Program Workgroups at each tier fulfill a critical role in providing information, advice, recommendations, and decisions to effectively guide and oversee the Program. These Governance bodies are decision-making and solution-oriented entities with representation from Workforce Partners, other impacted agency stakeholders, and contractors

(as appropriate). The FL WINS Program’s three-tiered governance structure includes an escalation path based on impacts to scope, schedule, budget, and quality. Defined thresholds place responsibility of change control within appropriate tiers.

Exhibit 5-1: Three-Tier Governance Model

5.2 GOVERNANCE ORGANIZATION

This section outlines three vital aspects of the FL WINS governance framework: (1) structure and membership, (2) roles and responsibilities, and (3) interactions and communications.

Exhibit 5-2: FL WINS Governance Framework, below, illustrates the framework.

5.2.1 STRUCTURE AND MEMBERSHIP

▪ Tier 3 – FL WINS Executive Steering Committee (ESC)

› This tier represents executive-level governance that uses recommendations and information from Tier 2 to make decisions.

› It is chaired by the REACH Director.

› The REACH FL WINS Program Director serves as a non-voting member (liaison) of the ESC that collaborates within Tier 2 to bring Agenda items to the ESC for decision making.

▪ Tier 2 – The FL WINS Executive Program Sponsors and Program Management Team

› The Executive Program Sponsors have discussion and analysis responsibility related to operational project decisions and are the final decision maker for Tier 2 related decisions.

› For those items that need escalation, the REACH FL WINS Program Director will work with the Executive Program Sponsors to escalate items to the ESC for a decision to be made at the ESC’s next publicly noticed meeting.

› The Program Management Team has discussion and analysis responsibility related to operational project decisions and is the final decision maker for Tier 1.

› The Program Management Team may refer items to the Program Workgroups in Tier 1 for advice and input to provide a comprehensive recommendation.

▪ Tier 1 – Project Teams, Program Workgroups (PWG), and FL WINS Program Management Office (PMO)

› The governance structure begins at the project level with the FL WINS PMO, including the Program Managers and Project Team Owners.

› Before escalating items to the Program Management Team, the FL WINS PMO works with Project Managers and Program Workgroups to get advice and input.

› The FL WINS PMO also assesses items and escalates them to Tier 2 of governance based on prescribed decision scoring criteria.

› The FL WINS PMO works with the workgroups to formulate the recommendations before escalating to additional tiers of governance; however, any level/governance tier may refer these topics to an ad hoc workgroup.

› The FL WINS PMO facilitates the material development and management of the governance processes. This includes facilitating the circulation of items and artifacts between the governance levels and PWGs to achieve a resolution.
