Impact and Dependencies

The HR, Payroll & Pensions application and database requires to be patched annually to deliver the statutory Tax Year End patches.

In a normal year, the pre-requisite patches will be applied through DEV, TEST and LIVE from November with the Tax Year End patches being progressed through February and sometimes March

There are a number of projects which will be working on the same DEV, TEST and LIVE environments in the same timescale as PPP01?. They may also require the same IS Apps and Business resources to work on them. This needs to be taken into account during planning for PPP01? and the other projects. At this time, the projects identified are as follows:

Project	Plan	Impact/Dependency
HRS097 HESA Staff Return - 19/20	In Live with no issues. Final commit milestone to be completed. Will be signed off and closed in Nov 2019	Should have little or no impact
HRS096 GDPR Updates	Planned to close by end November 2019	Need to plan work around each other
FIN131 Pension Scheme Changes	Not started.	Likely to be people availability which will delay progress of affected project
