Committee and Workgroup Guide

Geospatial Committees and Workgroups Guide Last updated January 31, 2013

The following information is intended to provide direction to and help guide MnGeo committees and workgroups. Committees are more on-going than workgroups. An effort that is long-term, lasting more than a year, and has multiple phases or iterations is appropriate for a committee, while efforts that are short-term with a limited focus or that produce a specific set of deliverables will be appropriate for a workgroup. Resourced projects with a project steering committee are not a MnGeo geospatial committee or workgroup as described here. Current Committees: Digital Cadastral Data, Digital Elevation and its LiDAR Research and Education Subcommittee, Emergency Preparedness, Hydrography, Outreach, Standards Current Workgroups: Geocoding, Geospatial Commons, Metadata 1. Formation of Committees or Workgroups

a. The State Chief Geospatial Information Officer (CGIO) will recommend to the Geospatial Technical Committee the formation of a committee or workgroup with advice from the geospatial community.

b. Committee and Workgroup Formation Criteria i. Supports MN.IT and state geospatial activities and priorities

ii. Addresses important community purpose or impact, including grass roots efforts iii. Legislation, other mandate or significant opportunity

2. Governance

a. Authorization - State Geospatial Technical Committee has authority to create and disband based on advice from the CGIO.

b. MnGeo committees and workgroups will report to the CGIO (MnGeo Director) c. Operation

i. A Chair and vice chair (focal point and backup) will be identified by the committee or workgroup and approved by the CGIO.

ii. Committee and workgroup focus is to develop ideas, attain consensus, perform research and/or produce deliverables

iii. Committees and workgroups can create sub-groups to accomplish their purpose iv. Committees and workgroups should meet periodically so that they get things done.

Suggestion: Committees meet at least 4 times/year and workgroups meet at least 6 times/year. More if necessary to meet objectives and goals. Meetings can be conducted remotely.

v. Committee/workgroup “Members” are persons who are actively participating in committee/workgroup meetings and work. Committee/workgroup charters in general and work plans in detail will delineate member duties and responsibilities.

vi. “Interested Parties” are persons who want to be informed of committee/workgroup activity but are not active members

vii. Suggested Committee and Workgroup size: Committees generally have 6 to 20 members, and workgroups 4 to 8 members

implement organizational consistency

standardize agency policies and management practices

develop functional alignment between MN.IT Central and agency-based offices in order to better define roles, skills and expectations and to foster collaboration and interoperability.”

overarching goal of the MN.IT Cloud service strategies is to align service delivery functions across the enterprise

We will improve service level management for geospatial services and align agency geospatial resources appropriately within MN.IT, with the following objectives:

Standard geospatial services are integrated in the MN.IT Service Catalog.

Enterprise geospatial needs are identified and prioritized. MN.IT is supported by a single set of geospatial policies

and standards.

Geospatial services leverage common infrastructure, application and data management processes and tools.

The Geospatial Aspect

Decision - One project or many?

The approachWe will align other with projects where we can (e.g.

MN Geospatial Commons with Infrastructure, hosting and data management)

We will need to identify resources to work on theseWe will need to balance with the business needNeed to be complete in two yearsThis will likely limit our ability to engage in some new

effortsMeeting with larger agencies first
