09/09/14 August Programme Meeting

Decisions

• Funding for FIN097 - Additional funding for FIN097 Archiving eFInancials data - 10 days to be taken from the contingency row for AP45-020 'Estates & Buildings - Finance Interface Requirements' - the associated risk of reducing this contingency was agreed to be 'low' based on the assumption of an eFin solution.  A further 10 days to be taken from the contingency row for FIN100 'ABS SSystems Patching for Java 7' - the associated risk of reducing this contigengency was agreed to be 'low' based on work undertaken to-date in the Dev environment.
• Delayed start date for AP45-020 - The start date for AP45-020 'Estates & Buildings - Finance Interface Requirements' to be delayed to Feb 2015 (was Nov 14) as the pre-cursor project within Estates will not be completed in time.
• Brought-forward start-date for AP45-018 - The start date for AP45-018 'Supporting Scan & Destroy Using Serengeti' to be potentially brought forward to start in Nov 2014 (was Jan 15) if appropriate resources available
• Liz confirmed that the Fees Strategy Group has signed off interest charging for student invoices, so there are no blockers for the project to start in January as planned.  Functionality required for interest charging may be available within eFinancials so the budget for the project may be able to be reduced after further analysis.

Actions

• Garry to progress WPM call within FIS to allow FIN086 ePay Reconciliation to continue
• Rhian to query with the Serengeti team the need for a 3 day outage for their go-live
• Dawn to make agreed changes to programme budget, timeline and risk register
• Garry to share results of Estates gap analysis with Liz so that any potential blockages can be investigated
