Overall Programme RAG: GREEN

The MVM programme started 2015/16 at a significant time for MVM, with the emergence of a long term road map for its IT Strategy.

All projects that are expected to be part of this year's programme of work, including projects not involving Applications (see College Led programme), have been added to the projects website. Only projects needing Applications resource will be added here.

Projects all on track, with just MVM007 needing new milestones now that its scope has been changed.

Report completed by Dave Berry for November 2015

  • Achievements in Last Period

Agreed new miletones for project.

Awaiting outcome of testing the latest fixes.

Awaiting outcome of CO investigation of synchronisation problem.

  • Issues

As noted last month:

- Synchronisation with Outlook is failing on the business's new PCs.  The PM and developer have recommended that the MVM CO's investigate this problem.  This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/14

- The business lead has not been able to test the latest fixes in the agreed time and so the milestones will need to be revised.  This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/13, although the date noted in that issue has also been missed.

- The business have requested further changes but there is  no agreement in place for funding further work.    This is noted in https://www.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/mvm005/issues/13.

- The budget has been exceeded by a couple of days.

- RAG status set to RED because latest milestone has been missed again, and budget needs to be agreed, while the resolution of request for further work is still outstanding.

  • Next Steps 

- Await outcome of testing the latest fixes.

- Await outcome of CO investigation of synchronisation problem.

- Discuss options for further work.
