Section One: Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Programme Commentary

In this reporting period work has continued on all active projects. The PHP infrastructure work under UWP022, has progressed past TEST, however, an issue with Bamboo prevented deployment to STAGING as scheduled. The planned deployment will now slip into January 2019. This also has an impact on making changes to the Staff Overview pages for UWP023, which cannot progress until the new in PHP infrastructure is deployed.

The preparation for the final deployment for UWP016 has slipped and will now deploy in December 2018.
