Launching subsites

So far…

Mid-2023, the web team started the process of transitioning around 150 subsites to the new platform. Despite the extensive list of setbacks we’ve encountered, we have successfully launched over half of the Round I sites. Those sites in Round I that have yet to launch are in part of my project plan to completely launch Round I sites by the end of the year.

Please take a look at some of our Round I launched sites:

Continued Progress

Half of the Round II sites have been initiated and we’ve even launched a few. Continuing our progress has moved to the top of the list for the entire team for a number of reasons:

1. We’re a member down. We lost a content-focused team member this year to a pretty great opportunity. We’re all happy for her but that means we’re down on the (wo)man-power.

2. Our deadline moved up due to the impending sunset of a product we’re utilizing on our old platform.

3. Now that we’ve got some of our sites out there, other groups have shown a heightened interest in getting on the new platform.

4. Some of our other top priority projects have completed their cycle and are now in more of a monitoring phase.

All of this to say that we should be rolling out more sites on an expedited timeline.

We’ll also be starting on Round III sites by the beginning of 2025.
