Early Adopter Process Details

• The process for Early Adopters will have multiple
  steps and no Agency will be forced to
  participate
• Step 1 of the process is to express interest in
  becoming an early adopter. Many Agencies have
  already completed this step by indicating
  specific areas of interest in the eDeployment
  initiative.
• There are multiple components to Step 2
• Agencies that have signed up as early adopters
  will work with the eGovernment team to finalize
  the early adopter project scope.
• Simultaneously, the Executive Council will be
  working through defining and approving the
  Enablers Costs.
• Finally, the early adopter Agencies will be
  working to identify the financial and personnel
  resources that they can provide towards the
  implementation effort.
• Following Step 2, Agencies will decide whether or
  not they intend to continue with the early
  adopter process.
• Step 3 is the decision point in the process -
• As part of Step 3, Agencies that decide not to
  continue with the early adopter process due to
  lack of budget, personnel resources or other
  factors will consider joining the effort for
  USDA-wide adoption.
• Agencies that decide to continue will formally
  agree to the conditions of the early adopter
  agreement.
• Finally, in Step 4, Agencies will begin the early
  adopter implementation process. The full
  implementation will consist of tasks related to
  Agency specific requirement definition, project
  planning, design, build, rollout, and continued
  operations/support of the initiative.
