Report by Susan Ridder-Patrick for May 2024

Achievements this period

• The brief and revised milestones were approved
• Test results and as-fitted drawings have been supplied (but late - see below)
• Updated WAP information provided (but incomplete - see below)
• Requirements gathering continued for DDI partners and members
• LST fit-out continued, working around the work on going by the estates project
• Enterprise architect has joined the team for service design for DDI Hubs
• Room and deskbooking being implemented for 3rd of June for agreed EFI spaces as a pilot in TTU programme (TTU031)

Issues

• As-fitted drawings and test results were supplied w/c 27 May but this was too late for the assigned resource to review before retiring. This  assurance work will now need reassigned in ITI CIS
• Updated WAP information improved but still incomplete - EFI are reviewing the locations where the install deviates from the spec to determine if this reduction is acceptable
• LST are having to work around the Estate's project which the team are doing but this is not an efficient way for them to work and therefore this carries a risk of delay. With the Events space work being completed in June/July, there is a risk that this may not conclude before the Book Festival team are on-site.
• DDI requirements are still being gathered but there are gaps in the operating model for the Hubs which need addressed so these can be concluded

Next Steps

• Complete Events space
• Complete DDI requirements and start service design work
• Progress Support model agreements
