Water Rights Adjudication Tracking System (WRATS) Modernization Page 1 of 31
1.0 Project Overview The New Mexico Office of the State Engineer (NMOSE) is charged with the general supervision of the State’s water and the measurement, appropriation, and distribution of all ground and surface water in New Mexico, including interstate streams and rivers. Within NMOSE, the Litigation and Adjudication Program (LAP) exists to obtain a judicial determination and definition of water rights within each stream system to support effective water rights administration and promote the State’s ability to meet its interstate stream obligations; represent the Water Rights Division in permit application proceedings; initiate legal proceedings to ensure compliance with the water code, rules and regulations, permits, licenses, and adjudications; and represent the state engineer in all suits filed in either state or federal courts.
About 20 years ago, NMOSE began using the WRATS (Water Rights Adjudication Tracking System) application to serve as a database where adjudication preparation could be housed with the capability to generate reports (e.g., Hydrographic Survey Reports, Consent Orders, Partial Final Decrees) needed in the adjudication of water rights in a particular irrigation basin or watershed. Over time, NMOSE staff have identified limitations within the WRATS application and have had to find workarounds to accomplish tasks.
Having identified gaps in internal processes and limitations with data applications such as WRATS, the NMOSE seeks to conduct a discovery of data and business processes and workflows with the intention of supporting cross-agency collaboration, fostering alignment and intelligence in NMOSE strategic objectives and goals, and eventually replacing the current WRATS application. Our diverse team of data architects, data engineers, data scientists, developers, User Experience /User Interface (UX/UI) experts, and project managers are the ideal team to determine the data, business process modeling, analytics visualization, and performance reporting requirements for an agency that aims to be proactive about streamlining internal processes and responsive to the needs of the community by decisively and strategically using data-driven models to achieve its mission.
1.1 Executive Summary- Rationale for the Project This project will conduct a comprehensive discovery analysis of current data, business processes, and agency workflows related to the process for handling. It is the groundwork for business improvement, future development of a new system and to address NMOSE concerns.
Examine business process for any potential increased efficiency opportunities focusing on opportunities for reductions in editing times.
Examine appropriate use of technology for maximization and automation opportunities. Increase the consistency of data through a more efficient Quality Assurance/Quality Control
QA/QC process and through less duplication in data entry. Data analysis of applicable processes, as it relates to the type of data that is entered into WRATS
from a data input standpoint and by whom as well as how data is extracted from WRATS (reporting) and by whom.
Data analysis of applicable processes as to how data in WRATS is or could be utilized by other programs within the NMOSE, including Water Resource Allocation Program (WRAP) and the Water Administration Technical Engineering Resource System (WATERS) application as well as Geographic Information System (GIS) applications and maps.
Provide a consistent and documented interaction process.

6.1.1 Risk Management Strategy
The NMOSE CIO and Business Analyst will work with the Vendor to address any risks or issues that may arise and will be tracked in Microsoft Teams Project Planner.
6.1.2 Project Risk Identification
The project’s risks will be identified and will be recorded appropriately in the Monthly Project Status Reports.
Water Rights Adjudication Tracking System (WRATS) Modernization Page 18 of 31
6.1.3 Project Risk Mitigation Approach
The project’s risks will be evaluated by the project lead in collaboration with the respective stakeholders. The project manager, project lead, and the stakeholder(s) will develop and execute a risk mitigation plan.
6.1.4 Risk Reporting and Escalation Strategy
Risk will be recorded and tracked through regularly scheduled status reports to team and stakeholder(s).
6.1.5 Project Risk Tracking Approach
The Project Team has documented an initial, high level risk assessment in the project charter and a more comprehensive list of risks within this document.
6.1.6 ISSUE MANAGEMENT
6.1.6.1 Internal Issue Escalation and Resolution ProcessIssues which cannot be resolved will be referred to NMOSE executive management and will be managed by the NMOSE CIO, in consultation with the Project Manager.
6.1.6.2 External Issue Escalation and Resolution ProcessThe external process is provided for issues that involve project resources, processes, procedures, or methodology that cannot be resolved within the agency that is responsible for managing the project without affecting the overall project schedule, cost, or quality.
6.2 Independent Verification and Validation - IV&VDoIT is disapproving a waiver from PCC and recommending a combined certification as this will be a much larger project. The current funding for initiation/planning only. A waiver for TARC and IV&V will be revisited.
6.3 Scope Management PlanTo manage project scope, the project will monitor and control the following attributes:
Number of issues raised and closed. Status on requirements Schedule / Milestone Performance Cost Estimate at Completion (time and $)

6.3.1.1 Change Control Process
In this Initiation/Planning phase, there will be no hardware/software deliverables; however, should any changes or concerns arise, they will be reported to the Project Manager who will determine actions as each case comes up.
6.3.1.2 Change Control Board (CCB)
Change requests will be submitted to the CIO for review and a decision will be determined based on the timeline and scope of work. Escalation of change requests will be submitted for review to the Executive Steering Committee.
6.4 Project Budget ManagementThe NMOSE CIO and Administrative Services Division (ASD) will track the overall budget and spending on the project.
6.4.1 B6.4.1 BUDGETUDGET T TRACKINGRACKING
The NMOSE CIO and ASD will track the overall budget and spending on the project. No hardware is proposed for this project.
6.5 Communication PlanThe Project Communication Plan will provide an approach for communications and support for the project. The communication plan has been created to facilitate timely communication, collection, analysis, distribution, and storage of project information. It is expected that this will enable timely risk resolution and escalation, if required.
The Project has identified three broad categories of audiences:
Project Team.
Extended Project Team (includes Steering Committee, Technology and Business Owners, and other stakeholders).
Internal (NMOSE)
Various types of information will be communicated over the life of the NMOSE Project. two information categories have been identified:
Project Execution (information relating to day-to-day project procedures).
Project Status.
A detailed matrix will be created to match audiences with the appropriate type of information. Frequency will be identified for each type of communication. The communication matrix will
Water Rights Adjudication Tracking System (WRATS) Modernization Page 20 of 31
