NTA Working Groups

The purpose for creating working groups within the NTA was to facilitate collaboration for ITRP—one of the largest technical build-out and upgrade projects for a public institution—and its processes between the CSU’s 23 campuses and the Chancellor’s Office. At the early phases of the initiative, working groups were formed to develop standard operating environments (SOE) for the campuses’ network infrastructure, which included ITRP network devices, their configurations and images. When network management servers and applications were added to the project, the Strategic Engineering working group handled the technical aspects of network design and equipment management, while the Network Management Systems (NMS) working group dealt with the technical oversight of the ITRP NMS project.

At times, temporary working groups have been formed to handle short-term projects; documentation from completed short-term projects can be found in the NTA's archive.

NTA Strategic Engineering Group Structure
In 2005, the NTA chose to adopt an ITIL approach to the organization of its working groups. The restructuring resulted in four primary working groups, plus a steering group: Development, Change Management, Problem Management, and Quality Assurance.
