Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

 

Overall Programme RAG: GREEN

The Programme mid-year review was completed with agreement that 95 days (40 days from TEL Programme Budget, 55 days from Programme Balance Row) be returned to the ISG Portfolio.

After review it was agreed to reduce the Programme Budget by 40 days as the remaining days will be sufficient to fund the remaining not started projects. 

The programme budget decreases by 40 days to 610 days, and the Programme Balance Row can be reduced by 55 days to 40 days. 

The programme balance row is decreased by further 8 days as TEL025 increases by 8 days, leaving programme balance of 32 days.

Report by Sue Woodger for January 2016

 

Achievements

  • Iteration 1 completed (internal signoff) bar two lectures but signed off with a plan for missing lectures

 

Issues

  • Iteration 2 was late delivering to CogBooks. CogBooks have rearranged their dates and can deliver on time but it means that they will not QA the Physics of the Earth course. This is not an issue to the editors as they follow the formatting guidelines from CogBooks and can make any changes themselves after the course has been returned to them. They just need to ensure that CogBooks have the structure correct. Eduardo and Sarah from CogBooks had been moving towards a different model of QA for UoE and Andrew from CogBooks will follow this up.

  • Lectures 15 and 16 were missing from Iteration 1 but are being completed as part of iteration 2

 

Next steps

  • Iteration 2 completed

  • Iteration 3 started

  • Confirmation that milestones regarding analytics amendments is not required

  • Technical issues completed

 

The project status is GREEN.
