RAG Status:  GREEN

Report for September 2019, prepared by Kevin Hone

Achievements this Period

• The Project has undergone a restructure with both a new BA (Elaine Wighton) and PM (Kevin Hone) appointed and in place
• Further workshops were undertaken in order to fully understand the EI existing processes for Business, Support and Training
• The Project has been re-planned, with milestones and budget agreed and submitted to WIS for approval 27-Sep-2019  

Issues

• Risk #5:  Availability of Key Resource  (AMBER)  -  The Project has experienced further issues obtaining availability from various key resource, again due to annual leave commitments and illness, as well as leavers.  This has impacted the timeline and will need careful review
• Risk #10:  Agreement of a Standard Service Definition Across all Customers of IRM Might not be Reached  (AMBER)  -  During initial analysis and in light of the fact that the existing support for the IRM service is not fully defined / documented it would appear that there is a risk that existing Customers of IRM are utilising CRM in different methods, if a common / standard approach cannot be adopted this could have consequences to providing Support

Next Steps

• Continue to work through / look to complete the Project deliverables:
  • Begin requirements workshops with Service Management and EI to produce the Service Design Package
  • Begin works on the Options Appraisal document / engage with Procurement
  • Undertake a DPIA workshop
