The first major task of the intranet introduction project, which was launched on September 1, 2021, is the collection and prioritization of expectations and requests for features of an intranet at TU Dresden. From October 2021 to February 2022, central stakeholders and future intranet users were surveyed in 90 individual and six group interviews and were included in three cumulative workshops.

The intranet project team extends its heartfelt thanks to the over 100 interviewees and the approximately 60 workshop participants. Thanks also go out to the 86 colleagues who have volunteered to test and decentrally support the endeavor.

The interviews and workshops were conceptualized to find out, characterize and prioritize future users’ needs and requirements from the intranet. Participants mentioned

• internal news,
• a dedicated search function for finding points of contact, and
• a reliable, central search function as particularly important.

At present, the project team is working on evaluating the information collected for presentation to university management.

A detailed interim report on the requirements analysis can be found online on https://tu-dresden.de/intern/dialog-und-organisation/projekt-intranet/projekt-intranet-anforderungsanalyse/zwischenbericht-anforderungsanalyse (English content in preparation).

Anyone who has questions about the project is invited to take part in the regular intranet consultation hours. The next date is April 13, from 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm. The access link and other current information on the project can be found on https://tu-dresden.de/intranet.
