Commentary

During October, the planning for USG012 ThankQ Upgrade is progressing to plan. However, the developments for Legal Services SharePoint Site continue to be hampered by lack of resources availability in the SharePoint service management team. The project is waiting for resources to be confirmed in order to reschedule the delivery and closure milestones. The project status is AMBER.

The overall USG Other Programme status is GREEN.

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

Report by Geoff Cropley for October 2018

Achievements

User acceptence 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 forcast 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.
An issue has been opened to reflect this position.
