FIN085 (AP01-008) eTime Phase 3
Category: Compliance
Milestones
RAG Status: GREEN | Report by Jill Nicoll for January 2014 Achievements in last period: Release 6: Build completed Release notes completed
Issues: Last month's report included the issue of the low availability of the Designer, and its impact on the expected delivery date for the Peer testing. The ISA project team has agreed that the Designer will create the Peer Test Plan, which will then be performed by the Developer. Feedback will be submitted to and discussed with the Designer. The project has been re-planned to reflect this agreement. To allow the required elapsed time for the Designer to complete the Test Plan, the Developer's task to complete the updates to the System Description Document has been brought forward from the UAT stage. The Project Sponsor and Programme Manager have confirmed that the increased estimate to complete Release 6's Batch Entry functionality will be covered from the Programme budget. The HSS-funded effort remains with its "holding measure" estimate and milestone dates. When estimates have been confirmed, the plan will be adjusted accordingly.
Next Steps: Release 6: Complete Peer Test Plan Complete Peer testing Deploy to Test Release for UAT Testing | ||||||||||||||||||
