 Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

 

During this period, work has continued on all active projects

The IS Application resourcing over the period throughout May can be summarised as follows:

  • May 2013  91 days which equates to a monthly burn rate of 190%
  • The overall burn rate for the year is 108%

 

The programme is now no longer in budget as an additional 30 days as are required for ITS100 Implement New Database Tier with the balance row in April showing 25 days available. In additional to this ITS095 SOA Upgrade will also required more days to complete this year. The number of days will become clearer in the early part of June.
