Programme Commentary
Overall BI/MI Programme is AMBER.
DTI049 is AMBER due to emerging issues around the design options to connect BI Tools to the Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW)
Geoff Cropely has now finished his contract and has handed over the BI/MI Programme Manager role to Jamie Thin. Jamie Thin is now also PM for DTI049.
BI / MI Programme - Key Achievements in Last Period
- BI/MI team attended 2-day agile training course
- Agile scrum methodology adopted for DTI049 for HR Datamart delivery
BI / MI Programme - Top Issues
- Service management resourcing model unresolved
- Difficulties agreeing BI/MI scope boundaries with SEP Core Systems, due to their need of a 'Historic Data Store' (HDS) and expectations this would have been delivered by the EDW programme.
...this may utilise the data warehouse, although other options should be investigated and the requirements are not yet understood. Advice from Enterprise Architecture has led to invalid assumptions that this will met through the DT funded BI Team, whereas it will need its own management and resourcing. Had previously agreed this with Core Systems but now needing to clarify that position again.
- Agreed Business Analyst resource from Core Systems not forthcoming.
...expected a dedicated resource to proactively cover reporting requirements but BAs have had delays in recruitment (expected July) and SEP process is to submit individual work package requests. Current expectation is to not receive much help for the analysis of strategic reporting requirements or data sourcing from existing systems, mitigated as much as possible by an increase in GaSP MI Analyst time seconded to the programme until the end of this year at least. Ideally need to increase Wilbert's time this year to cover increased data sourcing analysis but he has no spare capacity.
BI / MI Programme - Key Next Steps
- Agree programme brief with stakeholders.
- Estimate size of the HR datamart , Finance datamart and eRecruitment datamart - to find into overall sprint planning - how many sprints per project
- Initiate Discovery/Analysis project for Finance strategic reporting requirements and data sourcing
- Confirm resourcing commitment with Service Management.
- Agree scope limitations and expectations with SEP Core Systems programme
- Programme Risk Review and consolidate related EDW/BI Tools risks.
- Arrange comms plan with Shaun and BI Team.
