Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
During October, six projects were ongoing with Support for the Xerte pilot restarting towards the end of October to proceed with the implementation of EASE authentication.
Good progress were made across the board with the most noticeable achievement in HSS015 School of Economics Job Study with the launch of the application, data started to be gathered and the approval in principal from DWP to share the data with UoE. This means the project is back to a GREEN RAG status, the first time in almost a year.
All projects have a GREEN RAG status except for:
- HSS027 Hope Park Counselling Centre System Implementation has an AMBER status this month due to a slower delivery than expected from the supplier. An additional development sprint has been added to the implementation schedule.
- HSS023 Student Voice is now reporting AMBER due the analysis being delayed to suit stakeholder availability for a little more than two months.
The overall status of the CAHSS 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.

Report by Geoff Cropley for October 2018Achievements this periodGood progress has been made in identifying the various use cases from across the University. This is required to be able to underpin user experience feedback to support user and business requirements gathering. Communications & Marketing have been engaged to help develop digital display standards and guidelines. As the result of the project C&M have created a new brand chapter for Digital Signage. Requirements gathering is in progress within CSE and CMVM. The Current URL feed from timetabling has been assessed for continued use but with a new digital display template and content management application in line with EdGel design standards. Proposed templates designs have been developed for screens outside of meeting rooms. This is the most common and well understood use case. The template is based on the Business School standard which has been usability and accessibility tested. Design resource has been secured for the development of templates to support large screens owned by schools. These design templates will be used to support standards and guidance. A pilot for the use cases that support screens outside larger lecture rooms (medium sized screens 22") is underway in two locations within Douglas Hume Tower and New College. The Technology product set has been identified to support the Timetabling data interface and this will become the proposed strategic direction for Digital Display Signage and will be incorporated into the service roadmap. IssuesNone Next StepsContinue with project delivery milestones. Pilot three locations with proposed new templates. |
