Report By Lee-Ann Simpson for December 2018

Achievements in Last Period

  • eFinancials monitored for stability across December;
  • Lessons Learned session held with final version out for review with the key stakeholders.

Issues 

  • Various FPM issues experienced in the weeks following Go-Live which continued into December and resulted in additional support time being spent on the project.
  • Project Manager/ Apps Man and Dev Tech spending significantly more time post Go-Live than anticipated due to the errors being identified by the business.  Most errors were resolved in a timely fashion by the project team.

Next Steps 

  • DSOR to be signed off (meeting scheduled for 11th January);
  • Final version of the Lessons learned to be circulated (to be returned by the project team on 16th January) ;
  • Decommissioning to be undertaken (Initial discussion - 9th January 20019);
