Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
Two further projects delivered and closed in the last month, and one more due to complete this next period.
This wil leave only the ITS103 Core Technology Updates project carrying into 2014, currently within budget but needing a re-planning and new milestones stated.
The Business Data Recover project remains as planned, but at present cannot start due to lack of budget.

| 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AP34-039 Development Tool Upgrades | Withdrawn on 30/8/13.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.
