| Project Info | Programme Manager's Commentary |
AP23-053 Staff Development- Implementation Funded Planning - June 2014 Delivery tbc RAG Status AMBER - uncertainty over the scope of any Staff Development Project and therefore the scope and milestones for any follow on project.
| Plan tbc - will depend on outcome of procurement project. Current plan suggests that the procurement would not be complete until April 2014 at the earliest.
Dependencies Implementation requirements will depend on the outcome of the procurement project. |
AP34-025 eRecruitment Phase 2 (Redeployment and Talent Pool) Funded Planning - October 2013 Delivery - July 14 RAG Status GREEN | Plan Business Consultations are running through to end July. This project cannot start until clear agreement has been reached on how to proceed. The eRecruitment Project Board has requested that the eRecruitment team review the high level plan for Phase 2 and the requested eRecruitment efficiency review to present a plan for the September Project Board.
Dependencies Business Consultations complete and policy decisions agreed with all stakeholders |
AP34-021 HR & Payroll Annual Maintenance 13/14 Compliance Planning - October 2013 Delivery - May 2014 RAG Status GREEN | Plan Real Time Information (RTI) and Auto-enrolement, introduced in 12/13, have potentially altered the normal plan and approach for this project. It may be more sensible to start this project earlier should the start of the RTI submissions to HRMC require immediate updates.
Dependencies Start and end dates will depend on what Oracle release patches and how urgently they need to be applied to our system. |
AP34-023 HR & Payroll Reporting Tool Compliance Planning - January 2014 Delivery - July 2014 RAG Status GREEN | Plan
Dependencies Ongoing work for eRecruitment and HESA testing will impact HR's ability to input to this project. Pensions and Payroll departments cannot undertake any work on this in August 2013 due to leave commitments. depending on when the Annual Maintenance project starts this could impact availability of business resources. |
AP34-022 HESA Staff Return 13/14 Compliance Planning - February 2014 Delivery - August 2014 RAG Status GREEN | Plan
Dependencies HESA have indicated that as the changes for 12/13 were substantial that changes for 13/14 will be minimal. This will not be certain until HESA release details of any required changes. |
AP34-024 Moving HR Databases (R12 /eRecruitment) to New Infrastructure Compliance Planning - October 2013 Delivery - December 2013 RAG Status GREEN | Plan Head of Production Management (IS Apps) has indicated that this Oracle HR & Payroll migration should be completed before the Family pack patching for HR & Payroll Annual Maintenance 13/14.
Dependencies eRecruitment migration will need to be co-ordinated with Core should they need to undertake any updates to the application configuration. |
