Report by Susan McKeown for November 2012Achievements in Last Period
  • Printing Services were given access to the Build work to date in TEST to allow initial testing to take place. No functional problems have been discovered so far and Printing Services are delighted with the simplicity of the new application and how they will now have control over the products and templates they can offer their customers.
  • CAM confirmed that the branding brief supplied is the final, fully approved version. This is excellent for the project as Printing Services are able to create the real templates as part of their UAT and these can be ported to LIVE, saving time for Printing Services in the latter stages of the project.
  • Printing Services were trained in JIRA
  • Build work continued to progress well
  •  
Issues
  • None to report
Next Steps
  • Complete Build work
  • Complete UAT plan with Business for formal UAT
  • Work with eFinancials upgrade project FIN083 to manage the testing required for the current PSO application with the new eFinancials and to ensure minimal impact on this project's delivery.
