Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

The programme is shown as AMBER this month due to rescheduling needed for both WEB007 and WEB008.

There has been a change to the way that the project RAG status is determined for all IS Projects, with the changes applying from this month onwards. The main change is that the RAG will now also reflect the changes over the last month, whereas previously it was the current status at the time of writing the report. This means that if there has been a change to the time, cost and/or scope during the reporting period that would otherwise have made the project status RED or AMBER at that time, then the project will be reported as RED or AMBER. This means that we expect to see more RED or AMBER projects than previously. A one-page summary of the IS RAG status indicators is available on this page.

Overall Programme RAG: AMBER

Report by Colin Watt for October 2015

 

Achievements in Last Period

  • Design reviewed with no major issues, but required input and agreement from O365 Service Owner; this was delayed due to availability; now planned for agreement and review w/c 02/11/15. 
  • The project team agreed that should Service Management be unable to sign off  the O365 integration aspect of the design, then it be de-scoped; it was agreed that proceeding with the build on that basis was low risk.
  • Build almost complete.

 

Issues

  • No major issues.
  • O365 integration to be agreed to complete signoff - this will progress w/c 02/11/15.
  • Milestones need to be replanned due to delays on Design sign off, but it is expected that the subsequent milestones will be achieved sooner and the project completed.

 

Next Steps

  • Review Milestones with Project Sponsor.
  • Complete Build.
  • Review budget.
