Issues

  • Business Lead on secondment until end of June. Project may have to be suspended if Project Sponsor decides the business lead needs to be involved. Risks 12 and 13 raised:
  • Risk 12: Risk that business lead secondment will impact project closure
  • Risk 13: Budget may not be available if project is suspended and runs into 2017/18 year
  • Deployment sign off review and closure dates need to be agreed depending on whether we suspend the project now until July or push forward with the business team that are in place. 

Next steps.

  • Install licence key to activate FileMaker Server
  • Decision to be made on how to proceed in business lead's absence by project team and project sponsor

RAG Commentary
Issue 10 raised: Business lead on secondment until end of June and so unable to oversee the changeover to using FileMaker Server in the team, therefore DSOR and Closure are outstanding. Project sponsor to discuss with team on how to proceed, or if to suspend project until business lead returns in July. Associated risks raised on budget if goes over into 2017/18 and PM availability. Milestone changes required for deployment sign off and closure. Milestones be reviewed on decision made by sponsor.
