Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
The Student Marketing Services Infrastructure Migration and Student Marketing Services Enhancements projects have been transferred to the Student Services Programme. This is becasuse the Communications & Marketing Prospectus Application Enhancements (STU222) project was started in Student Services during 12/13, and these three similar projects are now combined within the same Student Services Programme.
The UK Government has not yet enacted the legislation to implement the EU legislation for the Training Records for Research Legislation project. This means the requirements are not known, and Biological Services have requested that this project be deferred to the start of the next academic year in August 2013.
150 days were allocated as ring-fenced funding for the College of MVM during the Annual Planning process. The first project MVM have requested using this is Speedwell Database Hosting (TEL002) and 35days are currently estimated for this project. The remaining ring-fenced 115 days are being held within this programme as it is expected that they will be related to Academic or Student requirements. If this turns out not to be the case, the ring-fenced budget will be transferred to the relevant programme.
The Project Sponsor for the Personal Tutor project expects that effort on the IT Tools be reduced over the next few months while the use of the tools beds in with staff and students, though enhancements will continue to be tracked and fixes implemented.

AP23-051 Enhancing Student Support (ESS)/ Personal Tutors Funded
Planning September 2012 Delivery December 2012
RAG Status GREEN | Plan This project is likely to be separated into a number of smaller projects. The three functions in the next phase currently agreed to be developed for the start of the next semester are: a) Small Group Functions b) Photos (for students) c) Ability to add a meeting to staff & student diaries (this is dependent on another project). It is expected that further functions, including the rollout to PGT, will be defined during the year for implementation prior to the start of Semester 1 in 13/14. These requirements need to be clear by around December to leave sufficient time to design, build and test suitable tools. Dependencies For a) - c) above: Definition and sign-off of requirements. In addition: b) Completion of existing project DEI006 to point of stable code within MyEd and User Acceptance; agreement of staff to opt-out of photo display c) Implementation of Office 365 Project for Student Diaries |
