REPORT for SEPTEMBER
Key Achievements in Last Period
- Completed DT budget review – no change to BI Tools budget.
- Resolved scope for Qlik Implementation (DTI 034)
- Delineating to provide time to ensure a strategic approach is taken whilst allowing the ongoing installation of Qlik products.
- Resolved scope for BI Framework (DTI 046)
- Focusing the strategy element just on the reporting tools. Wider BI strategy to be taken forward by Lynda Hutchison.
Top Issues
- Establish a clear scope for project: Developing the BI Community (DTI 031) and decide how best to proceed.
Key Next Steps
- End of planning submission: Qlik Implementation (DTI 034)
- Estimate and initiate new project to pick up descoped items from DTI 034
- Consider BI Tools data security (authorisation) integration with EDW, potential candidate for inclusion in new project.
- Re-assess and re-prioritise the programme projects against remaining time and budget
- Work with other programmes to lay out the vision for BI/MI capability going forward.
- End of planning submission: BI Framework (DTI 046)
Overall the programme is rated at AMBER.
There are some delays in projects, and uncertainties around scope of the Community project (DTI 031) which has no allocated budget this year, flagged as RED. There are also uncertainties around the effort involved in setting up Qlik products (particularly authorisation security) and consolidating/migrating the existing QlikView applications in use. It is possible this could require significantly more work than originally estimated, and raises an Amber risk that we cannot meet all the original programme deliverables within budget.

DTI031 - Develop the BI Community
Discretionary Milestones 02-Feb-2018 Exit Planning 14-Jul-2018 Project Delivery 28-Jul-2018 Project Closure |
This project was previously considered for withdrawal (at BIT board meeting 23/05) due to difficulty defining and measuring clear deliverables. Received a proposal for developing a BI community from service management. The proposal will inform whether it makes sense to continue the activity as a re-defined project, or incorporate it into BAU activities.
