Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
With the last project planed for calendat year 2014 initiated, the project delivery and budget remains good.
There is a slight concenr over the delay in getting INF105 under way, and the resulting lower burn rate than expected, but we will review the development at the end of November by when we expect to see the project fully under way.
No concerns over INF107 or INF106.
Budget estimate is a handful of days over, but this is not a concern given the number of days relative to the programme size and contingency available.
There are a number of actions from the INF104 for the programme to progress. These are listed in a dedicated page. https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/programmepage/30193
