Report by Muriel Mewissen for Bruce Nelson (Portfolio Owner)

Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Commentary:

During May, effort was spent in SCEP02 -Virtual Edinburgh PM Consultancy and Support to support the participation of the CityScope project in the bid for funding as part of the larger City Deal proposal. The scope of this work is still evolving and has yet to be finalised. This scope change is behind the RED status of the project.

The closure of SCE011 - ExamOnline Trial is progressing with input and feedback being addressed. The report is expected to be finalised next month.

A small piece of work is under way to investigation the migration of a database for Geosciences, and specify a future piece of work to carry out this work, see issue 43.

The overall status is RED.

Please note that the project RAG status is following the guidelines available on the Project RAG status guidance page.
