Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
Programme Commentary
Key Achievements in Last Period
- Business Reporting and Analytics Service Enhancements project in progress.
- Procurement of Qlikview / Qliksense licences in progress.
Top Three issues
- A change of programme manager occurred at the end of April. The new Programme manager is in the process of getting to up to speed with the programme, and divesting his existing workload. As a first step, a review of the programme vision, blueprint, project deliverables and budget is underway. This has inevitably caused some disruption within the programme.
- Ensure that the Qlikview Consolidation reaches a satisfactory conclusion. We must ensure that the project is compliant from both an IS and procurement perspective. A new PM has been appointed to take the project through to completion.
- The scope and nature of projects “DTI031 - Developing the BI Community” and DTI036 “Reporting Data Models” are unclear and are currently on hold. There have been a number of recent discussions and the results of these need to be reviewed before we go forward.
Key Next Steps
- Conduct Programme review and ensure all elements are within governance and compliant.
- Complete negotiation of Qlik licences and reach award.
- Commence planning for Qlik implementation
- Agree scope and nature of community and reporting projects.
Overall, given the uncertainties, the programme is rated at AMBER. I expect a more informed picture to emerge over the next month.

Report by Geoff Cropley for April 2018 Achievements this periodA change request has been raised to add an additional milestone and to extend the project closure milestone. Additional Milestone: During project execution it became clear that there was additional complexity in the development and use of dashbaords with Power BI Gateway. This is in part with the use of new technology where in-house skills are developing. In addition, the business analysis did not identify completely how the existing tactical service was configured. The tactical gateway had been configured in a way that is not designed for. The impact of the new requirements represent a scope change and the need to create a new milestone to accommodate the additional work required to complete the project. The milestone includes resolving database configuration issues and additional server and client implementations required to support access to data connections, the gateway and user credentials. Closure Extension: With the addition of the above milestone and the result of industrial action it is necessary to extend the project closure milestone. The impact of the industrial action was the unavailability of key personnel. The scope has increased to include additional client and server database components, Additional firewall rules changes and database credential additions.
The resource we need has been participating in industrial action and has now been secured. There is still the risk of future industrial action delaying the project. IssuesNone
Next StepsComplete security and access tasks and close project.
