Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

During January.

In completing the mid-year review process, the programme manager has made the following changes within the programme budget

  • Booking Agent Interface
    • Increased the estimate for this project from 10 to 20 days
    • Requested project manager to commence the project in February and anticipate clarification w/c 8th February
  • Removed the 8 days previously set aside as Sponsor Funded contingency
  • As a result the overall programme budget has increased from 45 days to 47 days

The overall programme budget of 6 days has now been exceed by 1 day and the programme manager has estimated a further 1 days effort will be required for the remainder of the year , as programme activity is now very light. Further discussions to be held with the CSG Portfolio Manager to resolve this deficit.

Report by Colin Forrest for January 2016

Achievements in the last period

  • A testing plan is in place and we are progressing with the UAT.
  • Comparison tests between what SSP can see and what Kx see in their system have taken place and the results are positive.
  • An acceptance meeting has been setup and a draft schedule for the deployment has been agreed subject to acceptance of the feed updates.

Issues

  • The budget will be slightly over our agreed budget of 42 days.  We expect to finish near 44 days now which is within 10%.  Accommodation Services are aware of this and have asked whether that difference can be made up from support day that have not been used.

Next steps

  • Compete the UAT
  • Finish the acceptance
  • Deploy the updated feed
  • Close the project
