Report by Geoff Cropley for November 2017

Achievements this period

The project has been moved into Digital Transformation as there are significant synergies with the programme. 

The existing scope and milestones remain unchanged.

The original funding of 20 days ring fenced allocation from CHASS Portfolio  has been transferred into Digital Transformation and augmented by an additional 26 days from digital transformation to complete the work.

With the move to the programme, the risk profile increases significantly and the risk register has been updated to reflect the new position. 

The project has started and is on track for a January 2018 deployment of the original deliverables. 

Issues

The BI Tools Programme as part of the Digital Transformation Portfolio will implement a range of end user BI tools including PowerBI. 

In the college project,  CAHSS were implementing an enterprise gateway for Power BI to support only its current use within the school to access the local systems, two dashboards.  In doing so it will not meet the needs of the wider BI Tools programme.  

For the gateway service to able to meet the needs of the wider BI tools programme a subsequent project will have to be established to scale up the service to support university wide use.

Next Steps

Continue with planned activities
