Section One: Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Programme Commentary

In this reporting period, the new infrastructure for EdWeb was successfully deployed to LIVE under UWP022. Some issues arose post-deployment, these are in the process of being resolved. Further development is in progress with Google tag Manager now available for business acceptance testing. This is expected to run throughout February.  The search project will deliver one more deployment with final fixes before closing in the next reporting period. Elsewhere in EdWeb, the limited increase for profile overview pages is now ready for load testing, this had been impacted by the post-deployment issues but now ready for testing.
