Agenda Item 10 Z2 Crediting Project Update Chuck Jennings (SPP) presented an update to the Z2 Crediting Project. Chuck noted the schedule has been extended due to 1) complexity of system components greater than expected and 2) additional testing has been required to cover more complex processes. The development staff has extended working hours and additional development resources will be added where appropriate. Delivery of historical credit data delayed beyond original estimate which will have the following impacts: Delays in delivery of the final system System run times are estimates Some manual procedures necessary Multiple data formats for prior years data Delays in receiving entity data for upgrade costs and payments The project next steps include completing technical design; coding and testing of Module 3; obtain final costs from TOs and the payment information from upgrade sponsors; and continue building business processes and audit controls.
