Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update  

Overall Programme RAG: GREEN

The MVM programme started 2015/16 at a significant time for MVM, with the ermergence of a long term road map for its IT Strategy.

All projects that are expected to be part of this year's programme of work, including projects not involving Applications (see College Led programme), have been added to the projects website. Only projects needing Applications resource will be added here.

Although status is Amber / Red for several projects, this reflects changes in scope or small delays in delivery milestone, and all projects will be back to Green already or soon. Programme remains Green. Sponsor funded MVM005 remains the one project of concern, with budget spent and UAT still not completed and business want scope changes.

Project MVM010 Lecture Capture assessment projec thas just started.

RED  

Report completed by Dave Berry for October 2015

Achievements in Last Period

The PM and developer met with the business lead to review the issues raised during further UAT.  Bugs preventing correct operation of the current functionality were fixed and returned for further testing.

Issues

- Synchronisation with Outlook is failing on the business's new PCs.  The PM and developer have recommended that the MVM CO's investigate this problem.  This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/14

- The business lead has not been able to test the latest fixes in the agreed time and so the milestones will need to be revised.  This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/13, although the date noted in that issue has also been missed.

- The business have requested further changes but there is  no agreement in place for funding further work.    This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/13.

- The budget has been exceeded by a couple of days.

RAG status set to RED because milestones & budget need to be agreed, along with resolution of request for further work.

Next Steps 

- Await outcome of testing the latest fixes.

- Await outcome of CO investigation of synchronisation problem.

- Discuss options for further work.
