CWS-CARES RFA Greenfield Release Cycle Ending

All SPOCs and Technical Contacts:

To support the transition to CWS-CARES, the CARES RFA Greenfield releases will be ending soon. The product team has confirmed that RFA0.17 will be the final release for RFA Greenfield, unless a critical incident arises that requires an additional update.
  • The stories in the backlog will be assessed and the needed stories will be moved to the CARES V1 project for future consideration;
  • All other remaining stories will be marked with the status: “Closed – Will not do”;
  • This will help ensure better alignment with CARES V1 and avoid duplicating work;
  • Additionally, it will provide a stable, unchanging environment to support data conversion activities.
The CWDS project team extends its sincere appreciation to the RFA pilot counties, CARES RFA team members, County Representatives, county consultants, and members of the Product, Development, Communications, Customer Relations, and Implementation teams for their exceptional support—from the initial rollout of the CARES RFA Greenfield environment through the entire development period.

Customer Relations continues to be available to provide support for RFA Pilot Counties.​ Additionally, the CWDS Service Desk will continue tracking and working with the technical teams to review tickets reported by RFA Pilot Counties until the statewide rollout of CARES V1.

Action Required
No action required. Contact CWDS Customer Relations if you have any questions.
