Identity Management Roadmap

I have posted the Identity Management Roadmap, which is an attempt to break down the broader Identity Management initiative into projects which could be achieved if given appropriate focus and resources over the next year or so. These tasks represent our success in implementing more of the Identity Management Architecture in order to provide APU with complete identity lifecycle management. You'll notice that in order to be successful both business process and technical issues need to be addressed. The overlap of boxes represents the concurrent nature of the tasks, with progress being made on infrastructure while policy and workflow are being refined. This concurrence can be seen in NSF Middleware Initiatives's Enterprise Directory Implementation Roadmap. The breakdown is not only based on concurrence but also considers that each of these projects would be handled by slightly different teams with distributed project leadership. I think that this approach would be more successful than a single large monolithic multi-phased project. There will of course need to be coordination between projects, with overall leadership provided by an iniative sponsor. I would love feedback on this roadmap so that we can procede to write project requests for each of these areas. The future of IMT's ability to deliver transformational self-service as outlined in the IMT Strategic Priorities, is dependent on APU's facilities to manage identity.
