Achievements

User acceptance testing (UAT) has completed and a system demonstration to the stakeholder was positively received. A number of bug fixes are required and some minor changes are required prior to system migration. Further testing will be scheduled when these changes are complete. More significant changes will be handled as service requests when live. High level forecast migration dates is mid-November. This needs to be confirmed when key resource is available week commencing 8th October.
Following the project delays, work to complete the migration to live will continue and this will be funded by the remaining project days and from the service budget. Where necessary the sponsor may be asked for additional funding to complete the tasks.
