WRITING BROADBAND ACTION AND DIGITAL EQUITY PLANS 12 Planning and Project Management Tools Worksheets To support a common structure to the Action Plans, Worksheet Templates are provided. These can be used to structure your thoughts, jot down notes, and collect feedback. All final worksheet versions will be uploaded into the Mastersheet (a tool used by your regional coordinator, your team’s designated data collector, and your team’s leader. If you are not one of these people you do not need to worry about this part of the process). Base Map Each participating BAT and Tribe will be provided with a base map that includes known infrastructure data and known digital equity indicators. These maps can be improved with the addition of local data. These maps will help identify where current assets exist and where there are gaps. Project Management Suite Each participating BAT and Tribe will be provided with a collection of tools that are designed to support the completion of plan components, tracking of deliverables, compiling the plan, assist with outreach, and more. This includes a Google Drive, Mastersheet/Timeline containing elements of the workbook, and Google Forms which can be sent out as surveys. The Project Managers will configure each suite of tools for each participating entity and provide support as needed in using the tools. Workshops and Office Hours Workshops and office hours will be held throughout the duration of the project to provide support. Digital Equity Support Team The Digital Equity Support Team will provide workshops, office hours, and other forms of support throughout the planning process. These efforts will provide direct support for local digital equity planning processes, pro- vide examples of proven approaches for specific planning needs, and facilitate connections around common challenges and opportunities. Digital Equity Planning Workshops Digital Equity Planning Workshops will be held on Tuesdays from 2-3pm, starting January 31st. Each workshop will focus on a specific component of the Digital Equity Action Plan, strategies for reaching covered popula- tions, or highlight proven approaches to local planning. A schedule will be published at broadband.wsu.edu and updated regularly.
