Roadmap & Key objectives

Roadmap

2023 Digital Technology Key objective

To standardize and to innovate

Application Lab data in one platform called DataLab and make it easily accessible to users

Priority

P1 - MUST DO

Phase 1: Envision - High level initiatives


Understand: Why is this initiative proposed? What are the consequences if not done? What are the new capabilities expected?

  • Create Envision brief if the initiative is part of the validated roadmap

  • Highlight roadmap value
  • Request a budget for Strategize if you need one
  • Security scoring 
  • RADAR/SENTRI
  • Request platform resources if the business capability is already identified and clear
  • Write portfolio epics, epics and user stories
  • Identify squad resources

First, let´s start with the Problem space

1.1. Reason

* Why is this initiative proposed today?

Explain what are the motivations and the expected objective behind this initiative/ what are the consequences if not done?

To keep answering the R&I digitalization demand for Applications Labs

1.2. Benefits

What are the new capabilities expected?

  • Secure, search and access historical and new data coming instruments and input software (ELN, LIMS)
  • Visualize data to optimize lab outputs within 4 seconds all data available to the users
  • Predict and recommend data experiment


What will it replace? Is it a new solution or an existing one?

It will replace paper, googlesheet/excel, and local files or drives

1.3. Target users

Who are the future users?

Identify the future users (BU, sites...) and population concerned

All application labs of Novecare (Agro, Coatings), Materials, Batteries


What is the number of users impacted?

240


What about the Business Needs?

1.4. Value proposition

What is the value of the initiative?

Financial Business expectation (ROI, benefits, savings,...) + Qualitative Business expectation (business value, market fit, visibility,...)

1.5. Business goals

How does the product / deliverable align with the business goals?

  • 15% productivity increase in the Labs
  • No more data loss compared to a 20% today
  • Reducing the number of experiments done on a project by 50%

1.6. Challenges

Are there any challenges in developing the product?

  • Standardizing our customized solution with a data model that works for all with proper data governance
  • Difficult for R&I to come up with standard lab process and data governance  

1.7. Business metrics

How will we measure success?

Global DT OKRs:

  • >90% adoption of our solution
  • >15% user time saved with customized digital solution 

1.8. Cybersecurity

Please duplicate this template in this folder. Then, for the envision phase, answer to the 7 high-level questions in the "Security Scoring" sheet. These questions will help the SIP team to determine the level of cybersecurity & compliance support you will need. Please contact the team by email: @SIP_team@solvay.com

If not able to answer yet, explain it at the Envision gate and it will be the DTLT to decide if green light or not considering with the high level of uncertainty 

Output completed:

  • Email sent with SIP assessment

What is the coherent run and build commit on the initiative?

Only run cost impact - TCO over 10Y will be finalized during the strategize phase

Estimated run costs (estimation high level) - on 10Y (if already known)

80K per year

Type of savings expected /year for DT (Ex: Contracts, FTE, ...)  

1.10. Resources

What skills and talents do we need? 

Here kind of skills required in order to start to fill the Capacity Planning.  If name already available please write the name

ELN specialist
Data Architect
Data Engineer
Data OPS
Data Viz

Full Stack web developer


1.11. Methodology to apply (refer for Accolade)

Do you think if your initiative is compatible with a waterfall approachor with an agile approach?

  • Agile model
  • Waterfall model
  • I do not know at this stage

If the initiative will be done in Agile methodology, please contact during the strategize phase Nicolas LOVAGNINI

Phase 2: Strategize


Understand: How this bring value? Which pain points will it removes? Will it be delivered in Agile or Waterfall?

  • Identify portfolio epics and epics within each portfolio epics
  • Create a document / slide / spreadsheet to build your epics and put a link in the bief
  • Estimate experts and budget by portfolio epics or by increment
  • Show SMART KPI (Specific, Measureable, Archievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound)
  • Evaluate the impact on Solvay One Planet objectives
  • Identify squad resources (naming)
  • Write user stories


Now, we can move on to the Solution space

2.2. Users needs

What do users dislike about the current solution?

Applicable when a new solution is developed

Current solutions do not centralize the data
At least 20% of certain data is lost
Historical data is not used
Not easy way to visualize and analyze data
No customized solutions (GoogleSheet)


What tools or features do your users wish to have?

ELN, Tableau, DataLab, AI tools (LabInsight & AdEX)


What value will it add to the user´s lives?

Intuitive application
Fast access to data within less than a few seconds
Less redundant tasks with digital solutions
Predicting and recommending data to optimize the number of experiments


What alternative do we have?

The data needs to be centralized in a the cloud and standardized. Any cloud platform like GCP would do.
Web based interface can be a customized web application or any powerful data analytical tools 

2.3. Risk Analysis

What are the risks (refer to Risk analysis matrix in Accolade)?

Are there any internal / external constraints and what are the preventive actions associated?

Identify risks and mitigation plans

  • Process and Data governance to be agreed as we go with R&I GBUs
  • Lack of potential GBU resources to collect needs and build requirements
  • Team member: high level of turnover, KTs are difficult with the complexity of the subjects and solutions
  • For security reason, long process and tickets sitting in queue for deployment does not allow us to quickly fix or build
  • Data not being standardized or demand from R&I not clear can slow down or create rework. Agile.
  • Many labs, large demand, difficult to select mature projects and also standardize globbally

2.3. Solvay One Planet Objectives

What is the qualitative assessment of Hardware/ Data processing/ Project’s contribution to Solvay One Planet?

- Is the business ambition you will support improving or not sustainability?
Yes, more sustainable thanks to the optimization of the lab experiments and by centralizing the data (less duplicate and data loss) for less data pollution.

- Will you increase or decrease the number of hardware we need to operate? How much ?
It will not necessarily increase the number of hardware since some labs already own lab pcs and Solvay laptop

- Will you generate or transfer an important amount of data, especially videos? How much?
Data is mainly text files. Very small of photos or videos.
