Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Commentary

During February, a ll projects are reporting a GREEN status. Additional scope has been identified for MVM529 Enabling CMVM Rooms for Hybrid Meetings and the project will be extended to carry the equipment of additional room.  However the issue around the lack of capacity from the MVM IT Team to support new projects continues to impact and slow the formal completion of the other two projects.

The overall status of the MVMBus programme is GREEN.

Please note that the project RAG status is following the revised guidelines: A one-page summary of the IS RAG status indicators is available on this page.

Section Three: Projects in Progress

MVM529 Enabling CMVM Rooms for Hybrid Meetings - RAG Status: GREEN

Report by Sheila Fraser

Achievements in last period

  • Confirm payment of the HP invoices.
  • List of Rooms updated with additional rooms: Usher Room, Lind Room and 1 George Square all upgraded with cascaded equipment
  • Feedback received for Usher & Lind rooms that were not on the original list: these are working for hybrid meetings and welcomed by the Dean of MGPHS.

Issues

  • Still unable to complete CLAH 4-H1-003 because it is currently being combined with CLAH 4-H1-002 into a single room to accommodate more students for tutorials.
  • Unable to add all rooms to the Online Meetings page because some areas have local management of the rooms and do not wish to advertise the facility to others.

Next Steps

  • New request received for hybrid facility in 23, Buccleuch Place - as this will be only for 2 years until Usher building is complete work is needed to determine whether trolley equipment could be provided that could be re-located into the future Usher building. Agreed scope change to investigate options for hybrid equipment in 23BP.
  • Complete install of CLAH 4-H1-003, when advised by J. Andrews that it is a separate room again.
  • Confirm that an appropriate equipment usage guide is in each of the meeting rooms listed.
  • Update the Online Meetings page recommended equipment in conjunction with Learning & Teaching Lead & Learning Technology Section and add in newly completed rooms.
