Report for May 2019

Achievements in Last Period

  • Continued  work on Python templates.
  • Work on outstanding work packages rescheduled due to resource conflict.  Revised dates yet to be approved by WIS are as follows:-
    • WP 4.1 Python templates: 19/07/2019 (was 08/03/2019)

    • WP 7.1 and 7.2 Centralised Logging: 19/07/2019 (was 29/03/2019)

    • WP 8 API Standards: 26/07/2019 (was 15/03/2019)

    • WP 6.2 Security Scanning  - Dependency Check: 30/08/2019 (was 22/03/2019)

    • WP 6.1 - Security Scanning - ZAP: 27/09/2019 (was 05/04/2019 )

    • D6 Secure Software Development: 11/10/2019 (was 31/07/2019 )

    • Approval of API standards and security scanning: 11/10/2019 (was 05/04/2019 )

    • Project closure: 25/10/2019 (was 26/04/2019 )

  • Rescheduled dates also include transition of task D6 from DTI029 into DTI028.

Issues

  • Python APIs build estimate has increased significantly and cannot be absorbed within the existing project budget.  Additional budget will be sought through the sponsorship group.  

  • Resource conflict regarding Security Scanning tasks has meant that they will have to be reassigned for 2019/20. 
  • Implications of WSO2 moving to the cloud have yet to be incorporated into the project.

Next Steps

  • Propose revised budget and timeline for consideration by sponsorship group and programme board.
  • Work continuation on Python templates.
  • Revised schedule and rebalanced budget to be raised at WIS.
