Programme Status Report for COM Programme
Report compiled by David Watters (Programme Manager) for Alex Carter (Programme Sponsor)
Section 1: Programme Summary
Programme Manager's Commentary
The month of September has been mixed for the COM programme, with some progress being made on the continuing projects, some sticking points on others and a couple of new projects not being started as planned:
- COM045 is waiting to deploy the upgrade to Oracle 12 (in Live) now scheduled for early/mid October. There have been further discussions round the upgrade of the database to Oracle 19 before the EOL date for Oracle 12 (March 2022). This is expected to be done over the next few months.
- COM057 closed as expected and the project team - rightfully - received plaudits for a job well done on this one.
- COM059 is continuing with the build of the new Sharepoint solution and the reports coming back from the project team are all positive.
- COM055 is still waiting to be closed. This has been pushed back by a few weeks because of the PM's workload.
- COM061 has been progressing, with upgrades now applied in DEV and TEST. UAT is about to start and a go-live date for the upgrade has been arranged.
- COM062 has had problems with its planning and estimations. These have now been completed and submitted to Apps Review. Resources are booked and work is starting on the upgrade of DEV in early October.
- COM063 (Serengeti) has not been able to start because of the unavailability of resources in Project Services. We are looking at another way of running this project with Production Management taking a lead.
- COM064 (Business Objects) has also not been able to start because of the unavailability of resources in Project Services. It is believed that a PM will be available by the end of October.
Looking ahead, we are planning to deliver the IDM DB Upgrade and the JIRA Upgrade in October. The Programme is also hoping to resolve the issues round the start of the Serengeti and Business Objects upgrades. Another project due to start soon is the Accessibility Statements project. This will be discussed with the relevant stakeholders.
