Issues

There are two issues to report at this stage:

  • The UPM was not enabled in 5.12.2-1, a temporary fix has been put in place to avoid slippage however the project will need to upgrade to 5.12.4 (UPM enabled) for deployment - PICCL 13
  • The allocated budget for the delivery of the UPM has exceeded it's tolerance and therefore extra budget is required - PICCL 14
Next Steps
