Commentary
HRS085 - CLOSED - HESA Staff Return 14/15 successfully delivered the University's final submission and HESA has declared this as Credible. HRS085 is now closed, on schedule and on budget. HRS084 - RED - Project made good progress in resolving open issues. The remaining milestones have been rescheduled to accommodate additional work and annual leave, hence the RED status this month. HRS087 - RED - Project delivered the calculator to EdWeb LIVE on 24/11/15 as planned but HR have requested further work ahead of the calculator being published. This has resulted in a new estimate, hence the RED status this month HRS088 - AMBER - Due to some unplanned and annual leave in HR, the project needed rescheduled, hence the AMBER status. HRS089 - RED - The end of planning estimate and corresponding budget increase to 165 days was agreed with the Project Sponsor and Portfolio Owner, hence the RED status. Awaiting confirmation of on-site days with Supplier which will result in revised milestones.
The Not Started project Enhancing Employment Technical Implementation project has a status of RED as it is currently below the red line for 16/17 and it is not certain that the project will start. 8 days have been transferred to HRS084.
Resources
The programme is using almost all its contingency to deliver HRS088 and is therefore at risk if funding for the HRS Transformation Major Initiative is not delivered. The programme manager has been completing some work on The Not Started AP56-049 Enhancing Employment technical implementation project as part of the 3 year planning process. This is being recorded against the Programme code which is now showing as over-budget. The programme level overspend will be offset against the remaining programme budget in AP56-049 The 9 days remaining at Closure in the HRS085 HESA Staff Return 14/15 have been transferred to AP56-025 HESA Staff Return 15/16 to offset the risk to that project of needing more effort in 15/16. The HRS programme budget has increased by 28 days in the last period due to the budget of HRS087 being increased by 3 days and the 15/16 programme budget for HRS089 eRecruitment Upgrade being increased by 25 days.
Please note that the Programme Budget for the Closed AP45-063 HESA Staff Return (14/15) project is erroneously shown as 51 days. The programme budget for this year is 11 days and therefore the total programme Balance in 15/16 should be 30 days and not the 70 days as noted in the table below.
