Workday@Clemson Updates

On Deck: Get Ready for the Test Stage Beginning in Late August 2025

Get ready! At the end of August, the Workday@Clemson program enters the Test stage. Several important activities are planned during this stage (which ends in June 2026 including):

  • End-to-End Testing
    The Program Team will employ a “User Story*” approach to test Workday processes from start to finish, confirming they function as designed and that data is stored and secured properly. This activity will not only include the program team, but others across campus will be involved in testing Workday (*see the blog post on User Stories to find out more about this approach).
  • “What’s Up with Workday” Series
    This series of informational and demonstration sessions will be open to the entire Clemson University community. Participants will get a preview of Workday and an introduction to its core features. These sessions will be conducted on Zoom and will be recorded. Be on the lookout for more information coming in Our Clemson, the events calendar, and the Workday@Clemson website for more information.
  • User Experience Review
    Additional selected stakeholders will be invited to explore the system from an end-user perspective. Participants will also preview and provide feedback on prototype step-by-step guides and built-in help features.
  • Training Design and Development
    The Training Team will be hard at work developing step-by-step guides, training sessions and videos to support a full training rollout to campus in Spring 2026. We are planning a curriculum and sessions that will be practical, emphasize hands on where practical and align with individuals’ positions at Clemson.
