Project Overview

A content inventory is a list of an organization’s work processes, the content generated by those processes, and the requirements for managing that content. The Content Inventory project involves creating a content inventory for each business area in the Government of Alberta (GoA) to inform development of a government-wide functional classification scheme and associated records retention and disposition schedules, to be implemented in M365.

This project will use a standard template and procedure to deliver a content inventory for each business area in the Government of Alberta. Each content inventory will include descriptions of work processes, identification of related content types and locations, and the characteristics of and requirements for managing this content. Note that "content" includes information recorded in any format, including paper, microform, email, images, audio and video recordings, and data. The Content Inventories project is anticipated to take place over 2 or more years and will involve working with representatives of individual business areas (branches or units) in all ministries and departments in the GoA to collect the information required to complete and validate the areas' content inventories. We are currently starting year 2 of the project.

This requisition will be used to fill 1 position that will complement an existing project team of GoA employees. Each Analyst is expected to be actively engaged with up to 10 business areas simultaneously. These positions will report to the Content Inventories project manager but will also take direction from GoA IM subject matter experts, such as Senior Records Officers and Sector IM Leads, as needed.
