RAG Commentary
Issue - Performance problems are not resolved on the VMs therefore the project cannot proceed to Test or Live. Data migration to environments and LIVE deployment scheduled for July has been postponed. Next deployment date in the business calendar is December 2018. ITI are working on getting a resolution with Apps Production Management overseeing this. This has already been escalated to senior staff in Apps and ITI and the project is to remain at RED until this is resolved.
