Commentary

The programme manager considers that overall the programme is GREEN as all currently planned projects are expected to be delivered as planned.

Having reviewed the Tomcat "end of life project"with the head of Production Management, the programme manager will take steps to withdraw this project in December 2017. This is because Tomcat for APEX does not yet have to be upgraded but there may be work to be done to upgrade Apache for all applications on the server (including APEX). The work will to up[grade Apache will now be carried out by Information Services in 2018-19.

The programme manager has met with Susan McLaren, who has been delegated to proceed with the annual planning process. This year, core funding is available for compliance projects only, but projects with sponsor funding may be proposed to IS at any time.
