RAG Commentary
RED Issue - Planning pushed back to Q1 2020 - Size of Finance Strategic reporting is likely to be large , scope is not yet well defined and on current velocity through the HR datamart build, the BI Team will need extra resources to be able to deliver a Minimal viable product for the Finance datamart by Nov 2020 - Business Impact - initial Finance datamart for Nov 2020 launch may be very minimal and could be delayed until after Nov 2020, with focus on legacy data, new Core systems finance data would follow as future release. Action - escalated to DTI board by Danny Emerson, esclated to SEP by Lynda Hutchison with proposal to scale-up current BI team to allow HR and FInance work to progress in parallel

Change Commentary
A lot of uncertainty about the size of this work - rough estimates are that Finance Datamart could be 4x size of the HR datamart
