Programme Commentary

REPORT for May 2019

Key Achievements in Last Period

• Agreed resourcing profile from most IS teams
• Agreed governance board
• Kicked off the BI Team
• Begun Data Sourcing analysis

Top Issues

• Service management resourcing model unresolved
• Difficulties agreeing BI/MI scope boundaries with SEP Core Systems, due to their need of a 'Historic Data Store' (HDS) and expectations this would have been delivered by the EDW programme.

...this may utilise the data warehouse, although other options should be investigated and the requirements are not yet understood. Advice from Enterprise Architecture has led to invalid assumptions that this will met through the DT funded BI Team, whereas it will need its own management and resourcing. Had previously agreed this with Core Systems but now needing to clarify that position again.

• Agreed Business Analyst resource from Core Systems not forthcoming.

...expected a dedicated resource to proactively cover reporting requirements but BAs have had delays in recruitment (expected July) and SEP process is to submit individual work package requests. Current expectation is to not receive much help for the analysis of strategic reporting requirements or data sourcing from existing systems, mitigated as much as possible by an increase in GaSP MI Analyst time seconded to the programme until the end of this year at least. Ideally need to increase Wilbert's time this year to cover increased data sourcing analysis but he has no spare capacity.

Key Next Steps

• Agree programme brief with stakeholders.
• Bottom out resourcing issue with Service Management.
• Agree scope limitations and expectations with SEP Core Systems programme.
• Transition Danny to BI Lead role to begin requirements gathering and design of data marts.
• Complete handover of BI/MI Programme and Project Management to Geoff Cropley.
• Initiate Discovery/Analysis project for HR and Finance strategic reporting requirements and data sourcing.
• Programme Risk Review and consolidate related EDW/BI Tools risks.
• Arrange Agile training for the BI Team.
• Arrange comms plan with Shaun and BI Team.

Status and Forward Look

• Beginning 2 to 3 month agile Discovery/Analysis phase for requirements and data sourcing parallel investigations. To be initiated once programme brief agreed.
