Report for May 17

Report Date

May 2017

Achievements in Last Period

• The following deliverables were completed, reviewed by the project team and the EdGEL Steering Group on 31 May. Some small amendments and formatting issues were addressed and the deliverables are now approved.
  • O2 D2 EdGEL adoption strategy backlog document: The output of the deliverable is a document on adoption strategy which also includes documentation on the EASE pilot for the GEL conducted by Karl.
  • O2 D1 Engagement:  The output of the deliverable is the Website review (completed under O1 D2, an Insights report (completed under O1D1) and a summary of all engagement conducted by Karl. It should also be noted that Engagement activity will be ongoing.

Issues

• The Digital Design Consultant handed in his notice of termination on 2 June 2017. This has impacted the deliverables due under DTI007. We listed the deliverables still to be completed under the following headings:
  • deliverables that need polishing/final editing before completion
  • priority deliverables that he could complete within the next week
  • remaining deliverables that will need to be re-allocated

• This has allowed us to plan what the consultant can do in the remaining time he has and for other tasks to be reallocated so all deliverables can still be met.

• We consolidated 2 milestones in DTI007 and DTI008 on the 18 May. Project sponsor agreed that DTI007 O3D1 and DTI008 O2D2 were the same. We deleted the DTI008 deliverable leaving the DTI007 deliverable as ‘Recommendations for a Service Management model including plans, processes and estimates of ongoing BAU costs to feed into DTI008’ to be delivered 30 June. Full details of the merge can be found in piccl 6
• We had to revisit the deliverable O1D3 EdGEL Website Update as our Tech Lead advised that the work involved was not achievable within a fortnight as originally envisaged and sponsor was unsure how much time the LTW developer had to spend on it. We therefore moved the deliverable date out as far as we could to 14 July with sponsor following up on developer’s time and a scoping and prioritisation meeting being set up for mid-June before development work starts.

Next Steps

• O1 D2 EdGEL Website Update review and proposal: Completion of Karl’s other deliverables will take priority before his departure but if there is enough time left over then he will produce a separate document on the proposals by Friday 9^th June.
• O1 D1 A defined EdGEL process – Magdalena also has to review this document but she has been on leave – will be reviewed by 9 June
