Report by Laura Bell for May 2013

Achievements in Last Period

  • Completed final communications to schools and agreed "go" decision
  • Accessibility issues reviewed and resolved
  • User Acceptance Testing signed off (excluding Eugex data feed)
  • Deploy Pebblepad v3 (excluding Eugex data feed)

Issues

  • Due to ongoing connection issues with Pebblepad, and issues with the Eugex Test data, the project was unable to conclude testing of the new eugex data feed prior to deployment. This is required for schools to set up workspaces and is not required until later in July. Therefore, this will be deployed once testing has concluded (target is by 10/7).
  • A number of issues occurred during the deployment which required some tasks to be repeated with Pebble Learning. Therefore, the project cost is Amber as this may require some additional budget to cover these issues and conclude deployment of the Eugex data feed (2-3 days).

Next Period

  • Complete deployment of Eugex data feed to Pebble Learning
  • Sign off Deployment
  • Close Project
