Continuous Service Improvement APIs

New Proposed Milestones To Be Confirmed

Report for December 2018

Achievements in Last Period

Deep dive analysis of the current API demand  has now been completed. This now gives the Sponsoring Group clearly visibility of the demand in order to prioritise. Initial recommendations were discussed with Sponsoring Group and reprioritisation logic agreed at a meeting on 28.11.18.

However further progress on this project has been difficult to achieve this month due to other demands on Service Leads time.

As a result the new project milestones have not been determined.

Work on UAT approach has not progressed due to A/L on the delivery team.

Issues

• Lack of  resource to manage API pipeline -  being managed by Susan Cooke until post filled on Service Management Team (approx. end Jan)
• Currently reviewing delivery timescale and budget across whole programme

Next Steps

• Agreement of proposed UAT approach for API's
• Define support, guidance and training for Software Developers
• Raise PICCL to change delivery timelines once agreed
• Agree new milestones for project once priority API's agreed
