Report for January 2021

Report Date
January 2021

Achievements in Last Period

  • Little to report - still waiting for outstanding tasks to be completed (see below)

Issues

  • Issues to be resolved by sponsor are:
    • There has been feedback from the warning banner deployment which means some significant changes. Service management colleagues have been asked to supply an estimate for these changes and to agree if they are to be completed as part of this project  (which means reviewing the budget) or as BAU.
    • Comms plan and comms test still to be agreed by sponsor so we have switched the auto-forwarding to ‘allow’ meantime until we can get the comms out. It will then be switched back to ‘automatic’

Next Steps

  • Sponsor still to agree where warning banner changes to be made
  • Sponsor still to approve comms plan and comms text for auto-forwarding
  • Agree date for auto-forwarding comms to go out
  • Comms to be distributed
  • Auto-forwarding status reverted to ‘automatic’ after comms out – date to be agreed
  • Revisit last published dates with Project Sponsor
