Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update  

The SMI002 UniDesk Upgrade has upgraded TOPdesk in all four universities. Unfortunately, a conlfict from Finance on Peter Jackson  means the project has carrried over into 2013/14 to complete the documentation  before it can be closed.

The SMI003 CMDB project has had an initial workshop with our partners and TOPdesk, which has helped  to determine scope and timelines, and a project brief is now with partners to approve. There is now an projected overspend of 11 days on SMI002 - programme manager will discuss options with project manager, and review estimates for the SMI003 project to see if the overspend can be offset within the new 2013/14 funded programme budget.
