Report for November 2017

Report Date
November 2017

Summary

A major impact has been that due to the deployment of Windows 10 being postponed from start of term (DTP008/13), key desktop colleague Mark Wiseman is now required to help with preparing Windows 7 for extended use in 2017/18, which will keep him off the project until end of 2017.

Meantime, the high level design for the new solution to replace Atlantis has been approved, and a workshop was held to kickoff the low level design so that the VSAN build can be done before end of 2017.

Issues and Risks
