RAG Commentary
Project has an AMBER Status - - why : to enable the SITS Double Upgrade to take precedence. Cannot progress both projects at the same time as any issues cannot identify where the fault lies. - impact : this allows the SITS Double Upgrade project to progress through the milestone stages and move forward to LIVE. This action minimises the risk of conflicting with one after another. - what is being done : the SITS RedHat Operating System move to Centos project has been re-planned to continue after mid February assuming the SITS Double Upgrade has been signed off in TEST. - amended resource booking are to be confirmed. The project sponsor has been advised and has approved the revised dates 7-Jan-2020
