RAG Status: AMBER

Report by Kevin Hone for August 2020

Achievements in Last Period:

New exclusion groups have been created to support a change in Microsoft policy for auto-forwarding. 

Issues:

• The project continues to run without an approved budget. 
• The implementation of the Warning Banner solution is subject to ITC approval. Concerns from the pilot have been escalated to this forum for consideration 
• A change in Microsoft policy has recently been announced which means that the original ITI elements of the auto-forwarding work is now deemed redundant.

Next Steps:

• The ITC is due to meet on the 16th September. 
• Once clearer direction is given, the project plan will be revised to reflect decisions taken for the deployment of the Warning Banner and Auto-forwarding solutions.

The project status is amber. 

RAG Commentary

Future direction of the project is subject to ITC guidance. A meeting is scheduled for Mid-September, the outcome from which is likely to affect: time, cost and scope.
