Issues

  • The Test deployment for Batch 2 Jira FIN108-2 (International Bank Validation) failed UAT testing in March.  There has been no progress toward resolving the issues, due partly to continuing Development Technology resource constraints, and partly to the issues being between two software packages that are provided by two different external suppliers.  At ISA's request, the Business Lead is seeking direct assistance from ABS.  Jira FIN108-2 has been carried forward into Batch 3.  Risk 12 has been raised.
  • The project budget is now very close to being fully committed.  Any proposed additions to Batch 3 scope may therefore have to be offset by reducing the currently-agreed scope.

Next Steps

  • Finance to provide business requirements for remaining Batch 3 Jiras
  • ISA and Finance to progress with Batch 3 deliveries
  • Programme Manager and Project Sponsor to discuss funding options for remaining project requirements
