Achievements in Last Period

• Basic dashboards for Learn built against Test (milestone not complete).
• Microsoft "Chalk & Talk" sessions completed with ITI w/c 14/03/16.

Issues

• MS System Center UI only compatible with Internet Explorer; an inconvenience but outweighed by benefits; however this could be an issue for some IS stakeholders; likewise presentation on non-Windows PCs; there do appear to be Third Party solutions which avoid the need for IE (and would assist with developing more sophisticated dashboard capability than is available out of the box), with associated licensing costs.
• PM has agreed with Project Sponsor that a face to face meeting with all key stakeholders is necessary to cover the above and agree whether to continue with SCOM / the project.
• PM has agreed with Project Sponsor to liaise with ITI to arrange a conference call with Microsoft to explore options for the above, ahead of the face to face meeting.

Next Steps

• Project team and key stakeholders to meet and cover above issues; decide whether to continue or halt project.
• (If agreement is to continue) review budget, estimates, and replan milestones. 

Milestones
