Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
During May, SSG006 (ESS photos for students) was closed and its remaining budget was used to fund the SSG004 Phase 1 completion, as well as carrying out further enhancements (under new project SSG010).
SSG004 (ESS Small Scale Enhancements) and SSG007 (Small Group Functions) codes were successfully deployed to the Training environment (TRN) and both projects can now be closed.
SSG008 (ESS functions for PGT) build has been completed and is being tested.
SSG009 (ESS architecture review): the project team has completed the first 3 meetings to review the current architecture of the Personal Tutor System, the St Andrews assessment build application and the School of Physics in-year assessment system.
SSG010 (ESS Small Enhancements) is at anlysis/design phase.
The suspension of ESS Photos for Students (SSG006) and the use of its remaining budget has now enabled to support the overspend of Small Group Enhancements (SSG007), and to carry out further enhancements (SSG010). SSG008 (PGT for PT) is 17 days under as the build effort was less than the estimates.

AP23-012 Training Records for Research Legislation Compliance Planning August 2013 Delivery Uncertain, possibly December 2013 RAG Status GREEN | Plan Biological Services have requested that this project be deferred to the start of the next academic year in August 2013. This project is to be deferred as planned carry-over for 13/14 during the mid-year review in January 2013.
Dependencies This is dependent on the UK Government enacting the legislation to correspond to the European legislation which came into force on 01-Jan-2013. This project cannot start until the UK Government requirements are known. Outcome to be deferred until final decision is made about the ESS funding for 13/14. |
AP23-037 MVM Ringfenced Balance Days Very ImportantPlanning TBC Delivery TBC RAG Status RED | Plan 15d of the remaining 70d balance has been transferred to Research for work on Roslin Mouse Database Migration, leaving 55d. The meeting planned for January with MVM to clarify what is likely to come is now expected to take place in April. The main focus is expected on MI for the rest of this year and there may also be some work assisting with a procurement exercise. Following the meeting it should be possible to identify what is required, and to be able to return this to green. Action remains with the Head of Service Management to schedule the meeting. The RAG remains RED as it's not clear if the remaining scope can be delivered within the remaining budget and timescales, as MI resources are planned for other projects. Dependencies Definition and sign-off of requirements by MVM. Outcome: MVM confirmed that this project will not go ahead. Tthe days will be made available to other programmes. |
