Commentary
The CSCE Programme / Portfolio is overall 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.
SCE010 - GREEN - Athena Swan Reporting Improvements project has started and work on the project's Brief is underway.
Although the CSCE projects related to the University's Virtual Edinburgh programme of work (now branded as Edinburgh Cityscope) have been delivered, IS continue to support the Virtual Edinburgh programme through both providing PM Consultancy and support and through work being completed under Innovation project API017 Virtual Edinburgh Foundations which is being funded by the University's CIO. Colleagues can follow this project's progress on its website.
AP56-034 Ring Fenced Allocation for CSCE: Please see section two, Projects Not Started, for proposed use of remaining ring-fenced days in 15/16.

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.
- The Programme Manager attended the College Professional Services Managers Group on 12 April 2016 and has a number of areas of interest noted to investigate for potential use of next year's ring-fenced allocation.
- The Programme Manager met with those members of the IS IT Consultancy team with constituencies in the College of Science and Engineering to help coordinate efforts across IS
