Work completed

  • Replace several faulty meters used to monitor the power consumption.

 

Benefits Achieved

Kaltura, who supplies the Media Hopper Create system to the university, has been updating its user experience over the last two years.  Taking guidance from the Media Hopper Create user group, user experience changes are not deployed during term time.  Kaltura now has a full update of the user experience for their system that covers the components that the university deploys.

The central service team wants the user group to review the updates to plan a deployment of the updated experience for the 24/25 academic year.

Project Overview

The university has a corporate partnership with the Association for Project Management (APM), and can access a wide range of benefits and resources as a result. These resources are not available to students, they can instead become an individual member at no cost.  Most students are unaware of this opportunity and therefore this project aims to create tools to raise awareness amongst students of what APM resources are available to them.

There are currently no written procedures for managing risk within Project Services. 

Project Managers struggle to find information on what documentation they must complete and the different escalation processes at the university.  

This project aims to develop these risk management procedures and to create some exemplars on the SAMSIM project on the projects website.
