Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

During February

There is currently little activity being undertaken within the programme at this time;

  • The user testing for the Enhanced Student Feed project has been completed
  • A new project, ACS035, has been initiated in relation to the Booking Agent Interface

The overall programme budget of 6 days has now been exceeded  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.
