RAG Commentary
Red as the resources to progress project are not available as a result of industrial actions. Remaining milestones will need to be rescheduled, likely after the SITS software upgrade project. No impact to the business as the end of life of the server is in summer 2020. There is a window to upgrade Live server after the SITS software upgrade in March 2020
