Report for Dec 2019

Report Date
December 2019

Achievements this period

  • New issue identified and fixed in TEST for translation of Exam requirement for 'student to be seated in a special arrangements exam venue with less than 25 people -  but has no other exam adjustments' 
  • Bug fixing  and upgrade of Exam Web Timetables to new version of  Python 3.6, Django 2.2 is in progress
  • Limited other progress - limited business resources while the Exams team focus on prep and delivery of the Dec 2019 exam diet

Issues

  • Change of business lead - Alison Ramsay moving to new role in Student Systems in Jan 2020 - expecting less exam team availability for project work for short term in Jan to March 2020
  • Slow performance in LIVE is being investigated by the IS Production
  • Pending changes in Exam Scheduler Connect in TEST haven't yet been tested by the Exam business team  
  • Resource conflict for Project Manager with TTU017 Course Timetabling Scientia Upgrade ( now resolved for Jan 2020) 

Next Steps

  • WP2 - Exam team complete testing of Student system connector changes ( expect  Jan 2020 at earliest?) 
  • WP2 - deploy to LIVE during Jan 2020, ahead of start of scheduling of April / May exam diet 
  • WP3 - project team continue working through the 10 JIRAS carried over from SAS005

RAG Commentary
AMBER Pending project work isn't critical to the LIVE Exam Timetabling service - the project work could be put on hold until the exam team within Student Systems is back up to full strength and can complete user testing
