Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
The Development Tools was withdrawn to balance the programme budget, allowing the completion of the carry over projects. However, due to the increased estimate for ITS103 (from 50 to 114 days), the programme has used up all its contingency.
The main challenge is to keep within the current budget so that started projects can all complete without the need for descoping or withdrawal.
The small AP34-041 Business Data Recovery and Storage Implementation project cannot now start without additional funding being found for the project.
The withdrawn Development Tools Upgrade in October could possibly be brought back into the prgoramme if funds and priority were established, but the effort needed may be small enough to allow it to be done under support.

| AP34-041 Business Data Recovery and Storage Implementation |
https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/planning/project/140 This proposal will implement the findings of the review of data recovery and storage requirements for IS Applications as part of a wider review by ITI. The review will have outlined the requirements for storage of business data for disaster recovery/backup, archival and replication purposes. The necessary technical infrastructure will have been provisioned during 12/13 period as a result of the review and this proposal will bring the Applications service under the revised process and facilities. Tony Weir will be developing the brief. The work is temporarily on hold due to conflicts with other priority work, but Tony has confirmed that it will happen in first half of 2014, and that it will be a procurement followed by an installation. The IS Apps effort involved for each project needs re-estimated. Currently this is a Small budget proposal. Status is RED as there is in sufficient programme budget to fund this proejct.

AP34-039 Development Tool Upgrades | Withdrawn on 30/8/13. https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/planning/project/141 This was due to impact on programme budget from carry over 12/13 projects. However, we hope to be able to bring the project back into the 13/14 programme if budget, priority and new estimates allow.
The Division has built up reliance on a number of key products over the years to assist in project and service delivery. This project would apply relevant upgrades to the following products: JIRA JIRA has fallen a few version behind latest version, so it may be this upgrade is required. Whether a proejct is required remain to be re-assessed.
Greenhopper This is a small task to be done under APP004
Bamboo This is a small task that should be covered by current Support arrangements.
