2. Project Background Problem Solution:
Currently, a business in the state of New Mexico must interact with numerous state agencies over the course of its incorporation.
Where agencies provide services online, each has its own entry point and web-presence.
The statutes, rules, and policies governing the processes and required reporting associated with creating or maintaining a business frequently change.
For existing businesses: keeping track of these requirements and their respective online systems can become burdensome
For emerging business, simply knowing where to start and the steps required can be prohibitive
These effects can be particularly limiting for small businesses
Solution:
Under the 2014 One-Stop Business Portal Act, the state will create a website where businesses can file all the forms and pay the fees required by various state agencies to do business in New Mexico. 2

Phase 2 (Oct-Dec 2015): Set up interim website (links to all stakeholder agencies and info about upcoming portal), perform in-depth requirements gathering, do gap analysis of agency websites.
Phase 3 (Jan-May 2016): Analyze and align processes in agency websites, plan portal setup, and plan portal marketing. Consultants used for process analysis/improvement and web design. Cost: $400,000
Phase 4 (June 2016-March 2017): Implement Portal and Marketing Plan
Phase 5 (April-May 2017): Close Project, shift to Operations

8. Project Risks
Poor engagement of stakeholder agencies results in active and passive resistance
Project sponsors and business owners not as strong as needed and/or not sufficiently available to remove obstacles and to champion project, resulting in delays, problems not resolved, insufficient team commitment, etc.
Time pressure results in incomplete / inadequate process redesign and rule promulgation
Resulting portal does not adequately fulfill needs of business users because based on perceptions of state employees, not of actual users
Portal does not fulfill regulatory and agency requirements concerning security, records retention, system operation, etc.
Inter-agency communication breaks down after project is complete 8

9. Benefits of Project
Successful project completion will assist new and existing businesses across New Mexico in fulfilling regulatory requirements
Involved agencies will receive practice in improving processes and developing policies/ procedures that align with those of other departments
Inter-agency communication networks will be set up, resulting in improved communication and working relationships among agencies
Using Agile Project Management will result in frequent functionality enhancement during the course of the project rather than all saved for end. This will help keep core agencies and leaders motivated and engaged
Communication of successful implementation of project through Marketing Plan will improve reputation of State of New Mexico Agencies 9
