Report by Chris Lawford for Nov 2018  

Achievements in Last Period

• Cloud Hybrid Architectural model approved.
• Detailed technical architecture design in progress.
• Training planning in progress.
• SOW agreed for design / build and PO issued.

Top Issues

• Third party costs of design / build and training will exceed budget. This has been highlighted at the EDW programme board and not expected to be an issue.
• The design sign-off is late, due to the late sign-off of the SOW. This will have a knock-on impact on the design / build phases.
• Resource contention on key Dev Tech resource.

Key Next Steps

• Complete Technical architecture design.
• Commence commissioning and/or build of infrastructure.

Overall, the project is reporting AMBER until the increased budget and milestones have been updated, and resource contention resolved.

Report by Lee-Ann Simpson for Nov 2018

Achievements

• Project checklist approved and milestone signed off with project team;
• Conversation held with Programme Manager, Dev Tech and Apps Man to discuss the next steps as to implementation of the EDW TDE across all environments;
• First draft of the Archiving White Paper reviewed with feedback passed back.

Issues 

• Resourcing issues within Dev Tech which meant we agreed to share resource with the INF programme due to the priority of that particular programme;
• A/L within the project team resulted in a delay to the completion of some of the deliverables;
• Project Manager time required to be conflicted due to additional time required on a Priority One project.

Next Steps 

• Milestones to be reviewed and amended;
• Additional Budget to be requested should this be required upon the re-planning.
• PIA in progress and aimed to have first draft completed for review by the beginning of December.
