Report for November 2019

Report Date
November 2019

Achievements this period

  • Project brief completed
  • Contact made with vendors from Buildings to advise on the applications on the servers and whether they are compatible for the Windows upgrade. This feeds into the estimation

Issues

  • Unable to get response from Energy team to verify vendor contacts for their servers. Advised by Estates Programme Manager for Dev Tech to use the current contacts we have and if they are incorrect the vendor should advise the correct person to speak to. Vendor contact is needed to verify the applications on the server are compatible and what is required for us to do to enable the upgrade to go ahead. This is needed to complete the estimation accurately. As this has been held up, the brief has not passed through planning yet.
  • Strike action has also caused a two week delay in getting in contact with the vendors.

Next Steps

  • 3 point estimate to be agreed by the teams
  • Milestones and resources to be agreed
  • Planning sign off

RAG Commentary
Delay in planning sign off as Estates Energy department have not responded and verified / agreed for Dev Tech to contact vendors to gather information about the applications for the estimation. Impact is that estimation is not complete to allow for planning sign off. Estates Programme Manager has agreed that Dev Tech should use current contact information and contact vendors. Strike action has also resulted in a two week delay.
