Report Date
February 2018

Highlights This Period

  • Closed off COM033;
  • Initiation of the documents for 2 of the 3 remaining proposed projects out for review;
  • Production of high level comms strategy and plan. Under review.

 Priorities Next Period (Feb/March 2018)

  • Engagement of estate wide stakeholders;
  • Agreement of initiation documents with stakeholders and WIS approval for planned work;
  • Development of self-service tools for DTI038 and proof of API;
  • Creation of info tools such as FAQ web utility.
  • Review of possible UX team utilisation

Key Programme Risks and Issues:

  • Programme Risk 11– There is a risk that the Senior Management Buy-in may wane. Review and update the Core Systems strategy on Identity, Authentication and Authorisation to clearer include the work of this programme, and put the changes forward for review by the Core Systems Strategy board.
  • Programme Risk 12– There is a risk that Scope, timeline and financial usage need clear governance. Clarify and tighten governance and communication to mitigate.
  • Programme Risk 13 - Development SME is single resource, committed heavily to project work and has extended holiday planned
