Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
Commentary
This programme overall is GREEN as the projects are expected to complete within the year.
For DAS008 the ThankQ to IDM connector and the Events Booking removal of functionality are both now deployed to LIVE. There are issues with IDM that are not related to this project and will be resolved shortly, which are preventing the completion of the transfer of some alumni records. There is also an issue with the Events Booking, as the changes implemented have affected the display of the channel within MyEd, which will be resolved as soon as possible.
Resources
The resources table is incorrectly showing the effort for AP45-064 to be completed in future years; it is still intended that this will be completed in this year and will be corrected for next month.
The portfolio budget is expected to be over by 10d at the end of the year; this is due to the work which has been done to support the BI/MI initiative, which includes work on the Data Governance Group and for the BI/MI Project Board. This has taken 5d to date and is now expected to take a further 10d.

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. |
