RAG Commentary
It was with the loss of a Business Analyst with immediate affect that work over the last month has not been able to progress to plan and detrimentally impact expected milestones . This increases the risk to delivery of expected benefits which has dependencies to wider IRM development projects across UoE . Alternative resource has been recruited and is undergoing project familiarisation. The intention is to work closely with the business for an extended period over the next month and ideally produce a draft Service Design Document. From this, a project team review will be organised and a revised plan shaped for conclusion of any open actions.
