Note: 90d in ASTA against this project are for the follow on migration project. This reflects previous agreement that 2.5d of PM and 2.5d of BA time per week would be assigned to the work to migrate Medical School onto a new Timetabling and Room Booking solution for September 2017. The project was then split into 2 projects - one for review and one for migration. As only the review project is started, the days through to September which will be needed for the migration are flagged in ASTA against this project for resource planning purposes. Both projects are sponsor funded as part of the Lecture Capture Programme. As discussed with Adam.
