Agenda

  1. Assessment vendor coordination – status update + discussion

  2. Sourcing new MSP SIG topics

Notes

Assessment vendor coordination

Some discussion on the quid pro quo for providers; some points

  • Assessment roster work - agree with going forth with this as a potential unlock

  • Program data is valuable as well to assessment providers

  • Possibly funding a study of assessment provider costs for API integration

Roster-specific questions

  • Authorization model data may be needed

  • Naming - is "roster" even the right term?

  • Granular data or composite API

Action: Ed-Fi to bring back lessons learned and proposals to move it forward

Sourcing new SIG topics

Open discussion - these topics were raised

  • Role of the alliance vs. role of the MSP in customer success

  • how does the Alliance/the Community monitor MSP behavior regarding adherence to best practice?

  • How does one prep for Ed-Fi before engaging an MSP; is there some readiness matrix that we can produce that helps us as MSPs evaluate and price projects?

  • Deep dives on particular data elements within the API

For next meeting:

  • SEA playbook - review this at the next meeting as this doc plays a role in expectations-settings raised during the sourcing discussion
