Notice: applying this to your agency.
The IT Project Resources are not meant to replace your agency’s internal project management practices or prescribe how you must operate. Instead, they offer concepts and tools that can strengthen delivery by providing a scalable framework for project level coordination. All project documentation should be maintained throughout each stage in alignment with agency policies and, where applicable, WaTech requirements and oversight expectations.
Ensures the secure and compliant retirement of legacy systems and the proper handling of historical data. Agencies, programs, and projects document decommissioning activities, confirm data retention and archival requirements, and validate that all actions align with statewide policy. The goal is to complete a controlled and compliant transition away from legacy environments while preserving required historical data and eliminating unnecessary risk.
For Programs:
Establish enterprise‑wide decommissioning and data disposition standards. Confirm compliance across all agencies.
For Programs with Agency‑Led Sub‑Projects:
Agencies execute local decommissioning and data retention plans. Enterprise team oversees compliance and documentation.
For Projects:
Retire project‑specific legacy systems and complete data retention/archival activities.
