Milestones

Closure:         Mar 2020

RAG - Amber

 

Report by Jamie Thin for Dec 2019

Achievements this period

• Consensus reached within project team for recommended option - to extend existing interim solution to add some scripting and automation , to allow the interim solution to scale up to bigger numbers of users
• Resource booking made with IS Apps S/W dev team for developer to do some outline design work and price up the work

Issues

• Need to bid for funding to automate interim solution ( rough estimate 50d small project requiring 20d effort from IS Dev services team, pending more detailed estimation from the developer)

Next Steps

• Fine tune approach for access and authorisation through a small pilot with GASP
• Agree how any extra unplanned work will be funded - either as part of new phase of DTI047 , or to be delivered by a new project
• Complete work to embed new EDW / BI Tools service
• Launch new service
• Close project 

RAG Commentary

Amber Issue - need a steer on BI Tools strategy to align this project work with longer term strategy. Propose to fully support both Qliksense and Power BI. Need to agree business requirements to feed into estimate of development costs of the EDW Access and Authorisation solution.

Some requirements will be agreed through a pilot with GASP
