Visio Access & Job Aid Update Project – Internal Coordination Call

Meeting Context and Purpose

  • Regular project coordination call focused on the “Visio-controlled Job Aids / Work Instructions” initiative.

  • Main objectives of this session:

    • Re-confirm scope and priorities decided “on the last call.”

    • Establish who needs Visio software access and by when.

    • Populate a shared Excel/SharePoint tracker (tabs: “Visio Access,” “Examples,” etc.) with names, examples, and access requirements.

    • Define a short-term timeline (Thursday–Friday) for collecting information so that an update can be sent to senior stakeholder Kasalia.

Current Status Recap

  • Agreement already in place: “Each team will identify the priority job aids / work instructions that require a separate Visio file.”

  • Visio file updates for the LCM (Life-Cycle Management) area have started by Isha, following the “code model.”

  • Senior stakeholder (Kasalia) is awaiting concrete progress; current answer of “evaluating” is considered insufficient.

  • Access list draft exists but is incomplete—missing CTS representatives and example entries.

  • Friday next week: Isha is out of office; therefore, information collection must finish by this Friday (current week).

Tracker / Spreadsheet Structure

  • Tabs observed while screen was shared:

    1. Visio Access – master list of people needing access, yes/no columns, remarks.

    2. Isha – examples of recent Visio work per person.

    3. Other functional tabs (e.g., “LCM,” “ODD,” possibly “Examples”).

  • Required fields to fill per person:

    • Whether they currently have access.

    • Whether access is still required (Yes/No).

    • Recent Visio usage example (file name or “Not used”).

Team & Role Assignments

  • Isha – Overall coordinator; liaises with Kasalia, schedules follow-up calls; working directly on LCM visuals; wants to co-review access list with Madan.

  • Natalie/Natalia

    • Follow up with LCM team (Rohit, Shravya, etc.) to fill in tracker.

    • Enter own status (never used Visio → “Not used”).

    • Will learn Visio “on the fly” and start with a simple diagram.

  • Madan

    • Provide LCM-specific details on access tab.

    • Will be removed from active access list eventually but keeps name for now (“Access still required? – No”).

    • Recommends replacing his access with Gautam (thus final LCM access list: Rohit, Natalia, Gautam).

  • Rohit – Has likely used Visio; must confirm and supply example.

  • Shravya & Tamasri – ODD / CTS contact points; will provide their teams’ examples and critical-file identification.

  • Mary Grace – Possible SME; to be reached via Tamasri for CTS items.

Immediate Action Items (Deadline: Thursday–Friday, This Week)

  • Natalie:

    • Contact Rohit for example files & usage confirmation.

    • Work with Shravya and Tamasri to finish the “Visio Access” table for LCM, ODD, and CTS.

    • Fill “Not used” where relevant.

  • Madan:

    • Add LCM details; mark own row “Access still required — No.”

    • After table completion, review with Isha who to add/remove.

  • Isha:

    • Set up brief 15–20 min call with team this week (or early next week if capacity) to finalize lists.

    • Draft email to Kasalia summarizing:

    • Completed access list.

    • Approach of updating only “critical” Visios.

    • Plan to tackle uncontrolled files sequentially.

  • All SMEs:

    • Identify which Visio diagrams are “critical to update RIGHT NOW.”

    • Tag remaining files for later sequential work.

Broader Strategy Agreed

  • Split job aids into two buckets:

    1. “With controlled Visio” (existing editable file) → update first.

    2. “Without controlled Visio” → tackle one at a time after bucket 1 shows progress.

  • Do NOT trigger mass revisions; only update files with real changes to avoid endless review cycles.

  • Show visible progress to satisfy management.

Timeline Summary

  • Thursday (this week): Tracker fully populated by team leads (Natalie + CTS + ODD reps).

  • Friday (this week):

    • Isha & Madan meet (if Isha available; note next Friday she is OOO) to finalize access list.

    • Email to Kasalia with consolidated update.

  • Next Week:

    • Short sync call (15–20 min) to confirm ownership & start dates for each area.

    • By next week end: list of “critical” Visios finalized and first diagrams under update.

Outstanding Questions & Dependencies

  • Who contacts owners of EU-specific files not handled by Tamastri/ODD/LCM? Decision pending.

  • For CTS areas, who “takes ownership” per file still needs clarity.

  • Need confirmation from Kasalia on two points:

    • Alignment with proposed “critical-only” update strategy.

    • Acceptance of phased approach for uncontrolled files.

Training & Tooling Notes

  • Some team members (e.g., Natalie) have never used Visio; plan to start with a simple diagram for hands-on learning.

  • Example collection (tab “Isha”) acts as mini-portfolio to gauge who has practical Visio experience.

  • Access provisioning process (who approves, how licenses are distributed) not described; assumed handled after list submission.

Risks & Mitigations

  • Risk: Incomplete tracker ➔ senior stakeholder perceives no progress.

    • Mitigation: hard deadline Thursday–Friday, dedicated follow-ups.

  • Risk: Too many non-critical updates clog revision cycle.

    • Mitigation: “Critical-only” principle agreed, pending higher-level approval.

  • Risk: Resource availability (Isha OOO next Friday, Natalie learning curve, COVID exposure for team-member’s household).

    • Mitigation: Advance scheduling; assign backups; remote work flexibility with doctor’s note if required.

Practical & Ethical Considerations

  • Ethical compliance: Avoid repeated unnecessary document revisions that waste company time and resources.

  • Practical compliance: Follow client’s (unnamed) policy on in-office presence vs. COVID exposure; doctor’s note may be provided to ensure health safety and policy adherence.

Next Communication Touch-Points

  • Isha to schedule follow-up call with CTS (Tamasri) and ODD (Shravya) ~15 min to review list.

  • Email to Kausalia (Friday) covering: status, access list, critical-file roadmap, request for confirmation.

  • Subsequent weekly progress reviews until all controlled Visios are updated.
