Dev & Alumni - Fundraising CRM business case and options appraisal 14/15

Discretionary (Funded)

Planning June 2015

Delivery June/July 2015

RAG Status

AMBER

Plan

Development & Alumni will lead on the project, the IS Applications involvement is expected to be limited mainly to development resources in relation to estimation for any integration work that may be required. This is currently expected to be around 5d.

02-Feb-15 Following discussion with the Project Sponsor the business are not yet in a position where they need support from IS Applications in relation to the estimates for the Fundraising CRM Business Case and Options Appraisal. This is now likely to be in a further 3-4 months, so the 5d effort currently expected is now likely to be needed in June/July. There is a risk that the relevant resources will not be available in the timescales needed due to this being a prime time of year for holidays (see Risk2), hence the current AMBER status.

Project start date: 01-Jun-15 (was 02-Feb-15).

Dependencies

Development & Alumni starting the business case. Potential overlap with other CRM projects: HSS004 CRM for HSS Options Appraisal and New University-wide CRM.
