Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
The programme continues, with SMART for HSS project starting w/c 8th October, and the Data Hub Enhancements project transferred from DEI to TEL, as a Funded project. This month also saw the closure of Learn.
At present, there is a shortfall of circa 100 days for the planned work for UnFunded projects and the Programme Budget for UnFunded work. The LAT010 carry over, LAT011 carry over and TEL001 PebblePad Upgrade total circa 140 days and the unfunded days in the programme only 39 days. LAT010 overrun is covered by UnFunded Budget.
IS Apps Director has authorised the overspend of 60 days for LAT011 to stay until mid-year review, when the situation will be re-assessed.
IS Apps Director has also recommended that The PebblePad Upgrade project be reviewed at mid-year, and a decision to withdraw project, postpone to 13/14, or to do the project as-is or descoped will be taken then.
WIS asked for feedback on decision and expressed no concerns.
Actions from programme meeting.
