The GCMobility initiative is a joint partnership between [https://www.gcpedia.gc.ca/wiki/Free_Agents Canada's Free Agents] and Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC). [https://www.canada.ca/en/shared-services.html Shared Services Canada] (SSC) was also a founding partner during GCmobility 1.0.

== Evolving GCmobility ==
 +
GCmobility 1.0 was first sponsored by SSC in 2019 and ESDC became the executive sponsor for GCmobility 2.0 in May 2021.
 +
 +
In partnership with the Canada’s Free Agent (CFA) program, GCmobility has and continues to provide value to the various home departments who manage Free Agent Co-hort cell including NRCAN, TBS, TC and ISED.
 +
 +
=== GCmobility 1.0 ===
 +
GC Mobility started in 2019 under the sponsorship of SSC with the goal of providing solutions to mobile and embedded employees who frequently move between departments or who serve multiple departments on an ongoing basis. The initial vision was for mobile and embedded employees to have a single stack of technology that could easily move between departments. This would include a single laptop, mobile device, e-mail address and MyKey credential.
 +
 +
=== GCmobility 2.0 ===
 +
GCmobility 2.0 is pivoting from technology solutions to solving pain points experienced by the employee. Solving these pain points may lead to technology solutions in the end, however there are opportunities to be explored related to the People, Policies and Processes that directly affect the lived employee experience for moving between departments.
 +
 +
ESDC Employees can join [https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3amiLqDcfh5XNGNNh5holEWn3jsTNjqTD7kljuSaH7j2M1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=5b379143-371b-4752-88c3-ce58f8e5309c&tenantId=9ed55846-8a81-4246-acd8-b1a01abfc0d1 GCmobility through ESDC MS Teams].

For federal employees wishing to engage with GCMobility please connect through our other channels until we work out a way to invite non ESDC employees over to GCmobility on ESDC Teams.

Line 84: Line 101:  
The closest thing to a mobility service we have found in government are the multiple Executive, or VIP services offered by individual departments. For an enterprise Mobility Service to be successful, many things would need to fall in place. This service would need to be delivered by a single department, who would have combined mandates across multiple service lines including staffing, HR, Accommodations, IT, Service desk, Pay, leave, etc etc etc. Currently many departments face barriers between these service lines within a single department. These issues, if unresolved, would just be magnified by the department that would be responsible for such a combined mandate. GCmobility feels that the issues around mobility need to be deeply understood and systematically solved for each service line. Not simply sequentially going through each service line and fixing issues, but doing so in parallel with many iterations and a HUG number of failures along the way. This is hard work and requires strong SHARED leadership. If an enterprise solution one day exists, it will be because the problems were solved at a smaller scale.

=== How do you plan to scale what ever solution you find? ===
 
By leveraging a partnership approach, we want to analyze issues of mobility between a small group of deputy heads. Mobility is not a solo sport, so no single department can solve it on their own. Also, there is no sense of disrupting over 100 government entities as we experiment, try, fail, learn, and build new solutions. GCmobility is aiming to work with at least 3 deputy heads of different departments. If three deputy heads can offer up leadership, resources, time and space to experiment on new mobility models then scaling occurs when we add the 4th deputy head and the solutions don't break. If they do then we need to experiment, fail, learn etc with 4 partner deputy heads and scale incrementally. Perhaps the solutions work for 5 departments but fail when we hit 10. Or maybe we can find solutions across science departments but solutions break with central agencies or those belonging to the security portfolio. In short, we won't know until we start small, and the smallest partnership size that makes sense is at least 3 and a max of 5 to start.

=== Project Management ===
 +
GCmobility leverages the Agile Scrum method for managing its projects and the overall initiative. <blockquote>Scrum is an agile process most commonly used for product development, especially software development. Scrum is a project management framework that is applicable to any project with aggressive deadlines, complex requirements and a degree of uniqueness. In Scrum, projects move forward via a series of iterations called sprints. Each sprint is typically two to four weeks long.(Mountain Goat Software: [https://www.mountaingoatsoftware.com/agile/scrum/resources/overview Agile Scrum Overview])</blockquote>
 +
 
 +
=== Iteration Scrum Updates ===
 +
Part of Agile scrum is the use of regular stand up meetings to coordinate and communicate progress.This section helps point to resources that answer the typical 3 or 5 questions of scrum.
