Commentary
The CSCE Programme / Portfolio is overall GREEN, as the work agreed is expected to be able to be delivered within the current year.
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.
SCE007, Digitising Scotland Planning: planning has been completed, however this is AMBER due to likely delays to deliverables, due to timing conflict with 3-year planning and high volume of proposals being submitted.
SCE008, University Seminar Site Enhancements: planning and the initial build have been completed, now in user acceptance testing.
SCE009, Virtual Edinburgh Scoping: project initiated and planning under way. 10d funded from CSCE, additional 5d sponsor funded from Schools in CSCE.
AP56-034 Ring Fenced Allocation for CSCE started the year at 150d. Of this a) 25d has been transferred to fund RES057, the RMAS PURE integration, which is currently suspended and expected to restart in January 2016 b) 12d has been transferred to PPP001, Parental calculations analysis and Athena SWAN requirements, to fund the Athena SWAN analysis elements and c) 35d has been transferred to SCE008 University Seminar Site Enhancements and d) 10d has been transferred to SCE009 Virtual Edinburgh Scoping. Please see section Projects Not Started, AP56-034 15/16 Ring Fenced Allocation for CSCE for further details on use of this remaining 83d allocation.
ResourcesThe agreed budget is 150d, reflecting the increased sponsor-funded days for SCE009.
RAG & Forward Look
Notes on Current Plans for 16/17
- The work on the Chemistry Scientific Instrument Management Business Case in 14/15 has found that if the recommendations are followed then no work from IS Applications would be needed in 15/16, however potential integration work with Finance and Grouper may be needed in 16/17.
- As the University Seminar Site is still in pilot phase, and will be until summer 2016, time must be set aside in 16/17 to either turn the pilot into a full service with proper documentation and agreed support levels, or to decommission the site.

AP56-034 15/16 Ring Fenced Allocation for CSCE GREEN | There is expected to be a higher demand for the SCE Ring-Fenced days in 15/16 than there is availability. As some of the University Seminar Site pilot is taken forward, then it is likely that that and the Athena SWAN implementation project would take up the Ring-Fenced allocation. Other work may be done where supplementary funding is agreed.
