Report by Sue Woodger for June 2017
Achievements

- O2 D1 Engagement : Output DTI007 O2D1-GEL Engagement-2017-05-29.docx (includes summary of engagement and Insights)
- O2 D1 Engagement : Output DTI007 O2D1 GEL Hackathon Proposal-2017-04-21.docx

Issues
- The departure of the Digital Design Consultant on 2 June 2017 has impacted the deliverables across all projects and the project sponsors are feeling this impact and acknowledge that delays are happening, pushing many deliverables into July and they are reprioritising some deliverables to help with these delays.
Next Steps
- Continue progressing completion of remaining deliverables
- Complete review of design proposals for changes to the EdGEL website
- Complete review of the existing interaction style guide
- Review of requirements to facilitate 17/18 planning
