Achievements this Period

  • Sign off achieved for News DEV environment
  • TEST environment complete and data migrated. All issues in TEST have been resolved.
  • Production Management currently performing testing on News applications. HRMI, SPACEMART, TELSMI, LYNDAMI all passed ok. Need results from ADMISMI, ORGMI, STUDMI, EFINARCH 
  • Agreement made that GEN migration will commence in April through to July.

Issues

  • UNIDESKMI testing has uncovered a problem in running the extract, but noted that it is not 12c related as did not work in 11c. 

  • Cost is RED as the project costs are likely to exceed 20% of the original budget. This is a prediction on where we are now with the NEWS migration, and what's left to complete. Estimation meeting is on 10th Feb for GEN and Programme Manager and Sponsor will be made aware of the budget required. 

Next Steps

  • GEN re-estimation (meeting on Friday 10th Feb)
  • Sign off NEWS integration and UAT.
  • Schedule in a go live date for NEWS.
  • Resource for GEN migration from April, and re-plan the milestones after the estimation meeting.

RAG Commentary
During the previous project review meetings, it's been noted that we have used more time in migrating News than was originally estimated, and this has affected the remaining budget for migrating GEN applications. Currently used 71 days for NEWS out of 118 to migrate both applications, it is highly likely that project will require an increase that will be greater than 20% of the original budget. Programme manager and project sponsor will be informed of the extra increase required after the estimation meeting.
