  • Meeting held with other Project Managers on projects making changes to eAuthorisations (RES055 & HRS083) to agree how best to tackle the deployments
  • Meeting held with Dev Tech to evaluate the impact of promoting eAuthorisations to live before FIN101 Launchpad Phase 2 is complete. It is currently thought that the impact will be minimal but additional testing will be required to check this.
