Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
The DEI004 closed this month, and the Data Hub Enhancements project was transferred to TEL programme.
The DEI007 project delivers in October.
Once the balance row is reduced, programme will be almost balanced.
The approach now is to wait until the turn of the year and re-assess the business drivers for the planned projects before application for DEI funds.
At preset the Moodle Upgrade is likely to be still desirable to undertake, the Moodle Enhancements and the Social Hub projctes are not.

DEI006 (AP Number) Funding Milestones (Phase 2)
RAG Status RED - over budget and to be closed after peer testing. | Report by Donna Cruickshank for September 2012 Achievements in Last PeriodThe Showstopper issue of last month (file transfer issues) was successfully resolved the project was brought to a position where the build was complete and ready to be re-peer tested. IssuesFollowing a meeting on 13 Sept with Bryan MacGregor and Maurice Franceschi, it was decided to stop the project because it was clear additional budget would be required to progress with integration testing, UAT, deployment etc - a breakdown of the remaining estimated effort was sent to Bryan. Next StepsIn agreement with Bryan MacGregor, one day of effort (maximum) is to be spent to complete peer testing and close the project. This will mean that the project should close having used 125 days (out of an approved budget of 125 days). | ||||||||||||||
