Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
Commentary
Programme status: The overall status of the MVMLAT programme for September 2021 is GREEN with all projects progressing well in September.
Risks
- Novel Coronavirus (Covid-19): There is a risk this programme may be impacted by any measures that are implemented to reduce impact from the spread of Covid-19. The risk is held at portfolio level.
There are two open programme risks:
- Risk 7: MTO may not be sufficently resourced to support a move from Practique to an alternative
- Risk 8: TEL068 delivery timescales/content does not deliver all MVM requirements or cannot deliver in time - risk increased with No Award outcome of TEL068
Project highlights
- MVM125: GREEN - Project progressing without issue
- MVM140: GREEN - the key Pebblepad actions have delivered regarding data interrogation and ITIL activity is on course. This change has no business impact as the key delivery (the application) was issued to students and assessors in August 2020 and is in use.
- MVM141: GREEN - Phase 1 delivery has been completed and the Build for Phase 2 is is progress.
- MVM143: GREEN - Greenfield Suite and Henry Littlejohn rooms complete. AV supply issue has delayed the final installation of remaining equipment.
- MVM144: GREEN - Project progressing without issue
- MVM145: GREEN - Work on site audit recommenced
Please note that the project RAG status is following the revised guidelines: A one-page summary of the IS RAG status indicators is available on this page.
