Issues

  • DEV Built Phase required more time than expected and is delaying the completion of the Built stage
  • Project manager has left the project  (conflict with Core systems)-Decision made to complete the current task, i.e. to complete the 1st server upgrade (Dev).

RAG Commentary
Red as the project manager has left the project (conflict with core systems). Project stage: build. Option to suspend project is being considered if new servers is not signed off early Nov. Impact of industrial action to go live unknown. Small window to go live. Impact to SSP Dev team leader workload to coordinate remaining work.
