Website Reminder
The Agency Engagement section details many of the ways our SMEs, agency partners and other stakeholders have participated in the project so far and will identify future opportunities for engagement and participation. This section will also be a repository for past project newsletters and Office Hours slide decks and recordings.
The Data as a Product space details our work on current payroll data and the Organizational Change section is currently being developed. The FAQ section will include frequently, but also not frequently asked questions that are important to one or many stakeholders. It is regularly updated for review. As the implementation progresses, additional sections will be added. We are also building out a space for dashboards and project progress coming soon.
With all parts of this project, we ask for and welcome feedback, thoughts and ideas. Please use soc_COMPAS@state.co.us to contact members of the PIT crew. We look forward to hearing from you.
Please bookmark our new project website as the original site is going to be archived soon.
