  • There are a number of Channel owners who have not completed testing - this is with Service Owner and Project Sponsor to progress sign off
  • There is the potential risk of testing not being completed and readiness for deployment to live due to key LTW resource not available due to attendance at overseas conference
  • Should there be any development work required the key project developer is on leave for 2 weeks and only returns on week the project is due to deploy to live
  • Project has also been impacted by availability of key IS Apps and LTW resource who are also aligned to DTI project activities this has been raised with Project Sponsor and Programme Owner

Next Steps

  • Resolution of outstanding JIRAs
