Pre-installation Checklist for Sustainian Plugin

Before you begin the installation of the Sustainian plugin, it’s important to gather specific information and prepare certain data to ensure that the setup process can be completed efficiently and accurately. Here’s a list of what you will need:

1. Office List Preparation

List of Offices: Compile a comprehensive list of all office locations your company operates. This will be essential for setting up each location in the plugin.

2. Consumption Data Collection

Utility Consumption Details: Collect recent bills or consumption records for gas, water, heating, and electricity for each office. If your company has Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) for renewable energy, gather the details of these agreements as well. This information is crucial for calculating the energy consumption and environmental impact accurately.

3. Employee Office Assignment

Employee Location Details: Organize a list detailing which employees work from each office location. This helps in calculating travel emissions and assigning user roles within the plugin.

4. Jira Project Exclusions

Project Exclusion List: Decide and document which Jira projects should not have the Sustainian plugin enabled. This might be necessary for projects that do not require carbon footprint tracking or for privacy considerations.

5. Plugin Administrators

• Plugin Administrators: Designate key users who will have administrative privileges for the plugin. These individuals will manage the overall settings and ensure the plugin operates smoothly.

• Project Administrators: Identify which users will be responsible for managing specific projects within the plugin. These users will handle day-to-day operational adjustments and data management specific to projects.

Gathering this data prior to installation will streamline the setup process, allowing you to configure the plugin more effectively once installed. Make sure all information is current and accurate to avoid any delays or issues during configuration.
