Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
Commentary
Programme status: The overall status of the MVMLAT programme for October 2022 is AMBER. This month the programme has completed the work to remove eeMec and eeVec. This has taken years of work addressing technical debt in the College. The programme also delivered upgraded versions of two Biomedical Sciences systems through the MVM152 project.
The programme is facing multiple risks and an issue (see MVM148) with the ability to get electric and network work completed due to an estates/finance issue since P&M phase 3 deployed, hence the programme's status is AMBER.
There are five open programme risks in October:
- Risk 10 - AMBER: Industrial action at the University from November 2021
- Risk 11 - GREEN: Risk to Learning & Teaching from disruption to Remote Software Services
- Risk 12 - RED: Learning Technologists Resourcing
- Risk 13 - RED: Risk to programme from changes to financial budgeting and accounting
- Risk 14 - RED: Late request for large cohorts for online exams
Project highlights
- MVM140: SUSPENDED - This project is suspended until delivery received from supplier
- MVM145: GREEN - Project in Closure stage
- MVM148: RED - Delay continues for electrical and network work to be carried out in Vet School due to the estates/finance issue since P&M deployed phase 3.
- MVM152: CLOSED - The project delivered and closed in October
- MVM153: GREEN - Project progressing to plan. Cascaded computers have been deployed to a teaching lab in 1 George Square
- MVM154: GREEN - Project progressing to plan. Additional rooms/upgrades have been added to the project brief
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.
