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

Achievements in Last Period

  • Build completed ready for signoff.

 

Issues

  • No major issues with overall timeline - the project is expected to be completed sooner than anticipated at the start of session, as primary development work completed, but delays to signoff due to availability of project team and additional stakeholders - PM attempting to resolve this although proving difficult due to staff holidays with end of year approaching.
  • O365 integration still to be agreed with Service Management to complete signoff of design.

 

Next Steps

  • Review Milestones with Project Sponsor.
