Programme Commentary
In this reporting period work has continued on all projects with one project UWP005 closing. The Polopoly TEST and LIVE databases have been upgraded to 11g and moved over to the new DB infrastructure. This has been achieved without any issues and the deployment deemed a good success. This project (UWP007) now moves on to build the new front-end servers for TEST and LIVE.
The Drupal project completed the non-development iteration and also a further development iteration. The Business Analyst was unavailable due to illness and with co-location not possible a new BA has been secured to take over and work on the project until further notice. The non-development iteration did not completely review the backlog but several epics were broken down into stories, prioritised and estimated. The picture of what needs to be developed in order to launch in July is now emerging and it is clear that further prioritisation by UWP is required. A mis-match has emerged between the deliverables agreed with the agency engaged to deliver the IA, graphic design and Drupal themes and what the project team were expecting. This is being addressed but with the timescales for delivery and associated cost not yet clear this is a concern.
