December 2021

Section One: Programme Commentary, RAG and Resources Update

Commentary

Programme status: The overall status of the STU programme for December 2021 is AMBER. Although both open projects are reporting GREEN, the uncertainty to the programme noted below in Risk 14 is reflected in the AMBER status.

Risks

Risk 14: AMBER - Unresolved issues on how to replace legacy UG & PG Degree Finder application - issue escalated to USG and ISG senior leadership team. Current UG & PG  Degree finder tech stack is legacy end-of-life code , and will get very difficult to make any substantial changes going forward,  if there are any external statutory drivers for change

Project Highlights

  • STU265: Progress made in reaching agreement on objectives and deliverables in the brief
  • STU267: Project progressing to plan to complete delivery sign-off and closure.

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.
