Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

During January, the only ongoing project Xerte Pilot - authorisation and business case is looking to progress the business case following the completion of the technical work and awaiting conformation from LTW whether this is required. LTW is currently reviewing applications that supports SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) following a request from People & Money, and Xerte is one of the options considered.

The status of the programme is set to 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.

Report by Chris Konczak for January 2022

Achievements this period

  • DSOR achieved. There have not been any issues reported, and all are happy to sign off.
  • LTW to confirm whether a business case is required. LTW are responding to a recent request from P&M for an application that produces SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) and evaluating several packages. Xerte is one of these and would be the preferred option if suitable seeing it is already in-house and in use by the Colleges.  

Issues

  • None

Next Steps

  • Follow up with LTW on suitability of Xerte and potential adoption for use with P&M.
  • Business Case if required 
  • Closure

Section Five: Programme Risk Register

Risk RAG Comments
Risk 10: Disruption from the current Novel coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak GREEN

Since 18 March 2020, all staff, as well business partners, moved to working from home during the coronavirus pandemic and UK lockdown which followed on 24 March 2020.

A progressive return to campus has started, alongside working from home, in a hybrid fashion from now to May 2022 when working patterns for the future past the pandemic will be agreed. A mixture of home and office working will again be allowed from 31 January 2022.

Risk 12: Delivery of this CAHSS programme of work for 21/22 is at risk due to BA resourcing pressure from People & Money RED

There are three projects scheduled to start this session:

  1. HSS038 CAHSS Digital Skills & Capability Review
  2. HSS039 CAHSS WAM Streamlining Phase
  3. HSS040 ECA MiniPortfolio Procurement and Implementation

All of them require business analysis. In particular, HSS039 and HSS040 are follow on projects for HSS031 and HSS037 for which it would be more efficient for the previous PM/BA to continue working on these projects. However they been fully allocated to highest priority P&M work COR004/COR007 to end of July 2022.

Recruitment is underway for additional BA and PM resources in Project Services.
