Report by Ken Miller for August 2019
Achievements this Period
- Further analysis regarding REF requirements highlighted their need of unanonymised data from 01/01/2007. This was 7 years earlier than had been expected.
- Initial estimate of effort to mirror PPIPMI universe significantly greater than expected. This was due to the evolution of the PPIPMI being such that the mirroring process entailed significant manual effort.
- Further investigation has indicated a more manageable estimate of effort. This has to be finalised and raised with HR.
Issues
- Budget for effort in 2019/20 has yet to be approved.
Next Steps
- Agree revised project tasks and timescales to be confirmed and raised with HR.
- Raise revised schedule at WIS.
