Commentary

HRS083 - AMBER - This project has had some delay due to essential patching work under PPP003 Annual Maintenance project but is still resourced to complete this financial year. The Amber status is due to revised milestones requiring approval.

HRS084 - This project has been started, the brief has been drafted and the kick-off meeting scheduled for w/c March 9.

AP34-025 - RED - UoE staff supporting Supplier completing Proof of concept for introducing validation and testing upgrade process. This work is planned to complete at the end of March. This project to convert the character set and upgrade eRecruitment would not be able to start until the completion of this work.

AP45-063 - This project is scheduled to start in March. The PM and software development resources have already been assigned.

 

HRSP01 shows as overspent due to pre-planning for project work for eRecruitment and some HESA 14/15 tasks which are being completed ahead of the project starting next year.

Plan

eRecruitment Supplier is completing a Proof of Concept which will introduce data entry validation into the application and test the upgrade and character set conversion process the University would then complete with the Supplier under this project.

 

The earliest that planning could commence on this project is late March, when it should be known whether or not the Proof of Concept will be successful.

RAG Status

AMBER

Report by Morna Findlay for February 2015

 

Achievements this Period

  • Build work not requiring new employment category begun
  • Project resources re-assigned.
  • New milestones put to project sponsor for approval

Issues

  • Resignation of development lead poses resourcing challenges
  • Delay in completion of oracle support patching prevented creation of new employment category and thus most build work  could not proceed as planned
  • Milestones to be approved which is why the status is set to AMBER.
  • Reduced period for user acceptance testing (pending milestone approval) may be affected by business resource availability

Next Steps

  • Develop change plans
  • Confirm project milestones
  • Develop stakeholder communications plan
  • Build to complete
  • Deployment to TEST to commence
