SELV Deployment Plan
- Christine Lenihan
1. Project
A. Overview:
The SELV system deployed in 4 provinces in Mozambique requires several updates and enhancements to improve usability and support scale up to additional provinces. This overall project incorporates several sets of changes including the addition of new vaccines to the system, configuration for two new provinces, and usability enhancements. Additionally, ColdTrace integration with SELV, while development is a separate project (please see linked scope document), will be included in the combined release and deployment plan established for this project.
B. Objectives:
- Configuration of Zambezia and Tete provinces
- Addition of Rotavirus, IPV, and MSD vaccines
- Usability improvements
2. Scope
The scope of the SELV Updates project includes new configuration for several of the changes, to be completed in advance of the release, as well as new features deployed with the new release in January.
In scope:
- Addition of 3 new vaccines to the SELV system
- Configuration of system to support rollout in Tete and Zambezia provinces
- New schedule for North Gaza
- Updates to Tableau reports to support new vaccine introductions and all items above
- Upgrade to OpenLMIS 1.0 code
- Tableau report to track tOPV
- Updated training materials

4. Risks
Risk | Description | Risk Level (High, Medium, Low) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| On-site support | No onsite training, knowledge transfer, or technical support in Mozambique due to lack of travel budget | Medium | All knowledge transfer and support remote - with minor changes is feasible but risk prolonging issues and miscommunication without on-site support |
| Release/deployment date | Identification of an appropriate date to close access to production for update | Medium | |
| Initiation of Feb. distributions | The deployment at the beginning of February will likely overlap with some of the distributions in Feb. For the deployment, users will be locked out of the production system and Feb. distributions cannot be initiated ahead of time | Medium | All Feb. distributions that overlap with the deployment should be done on paper. If any Feb. distribution is initiated before the deployment it will be deleted prior to the deployment. |
