Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update
The ITS081 Change and Release project delivered on 7th March, so that C&R is now operational for Abertay, will be a limited release on v 4 for Edinburgh, and will launch on v 5 in St Andrews. This is in line with the planned delivery as directed by the Project Board in December.
The SMI002 UniDesk Upgrade also proceeding well - but revised estimates are projecting a significant increase in the effort required, and the project delivery has moved to the end of May/early June. This could impact on Edinburgh and St Andrews who wish to roll out C&R on v 5. Programme Manger will be meeting with the SMI002 project team to review the estimates and plan before Project Board meets. From both timings and the programme budget, CMDB can now start in 12/13 as had been hoped but there is a risk that it will have less days available in the current year.
