RAG Commentary
A number of delays (technical resource pressures, holidays, issue with the supplied upgrade scripts, industrial action) encountered during the build process has led to the UAT not being completed in time for the scheduled go-live w/c 9th December 2019. As a result, the go-live has been re-scheduled to w/c 3rd February 2020 (as the business lead is not available during January). This delay will not impact on the business operations.
