Phases for Developing the Budget Model

Developing the Model for the Shadow Year

FY25

Developed an initial RCM style framework for use as a starting point to build a budget model for the Shadow Year (the “Prototype”). The shadow year model is based on the data currently available and RCM principles with guidance from the Discovery Phase Roadmaps. It is expected that the model will evolve through decisions made by Boise State as the project moves forward.

FY25 – Beginning of FY26

Developed an iteration of the Prototype to be tested and updated during the shadow year, FY 26. The model was presented to university stakeholders in spring 2025, and implemented July 1, 2025.

FY26

During the shadow year, develop the final iteration of the budget model with all updates to the University Budget Model (the “Go-Live Model”). The Go-Live Model is the budget model that will be implemented in FY27.
