Report for October 2018

Report Date
October 2018
Report compiled by Muriel Mewissen (IS Apps Programme Manager) for Susan McLaren (HRS Programme Owner).

Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Commentary

During October, work progressed well in both projects:

  • HRS094 HESA Staff Return 17/18 has reached the final delivery and closure phase.
  • A delay in the delivery of the business HRS096 GDPR Updates for eRecruitment will cause a delay in the start of the implementation. This is compounded with need to fit the implementation with the system availability to support the monthly run. This means the delivery will move to January. This change results in project reporting a AMBER status.

The overall USG Other Programme status is GREEN.

Please note that the project RAG status is following the guidelines available on the Project RAG status guidance page.
