Finance BI Improvement: October
- Report Date
- October 2016
Achievements this period
Review of progress to date on JIRAs transferred from FIN109 & FIN112
- 3 complete
- 3 ready for test by business
- 4 not started
Review of other proposed scope items and priority/order. Preliminary analysis undertaken on the following proposed items to determine if these can be delivered as part of the project:
- User access to codes restricted to eAuthorisations coding access - Software Dev believe this will be a fairly complex piece of work, and would likely require a small/medium project of it's own - confirmed as out of scope for FIN117.
- Creation of a BI Dashboard for Finance
- Universe conversion from UNV to UNX
Project brief drafted
- to be reviewed with stakeholders and signed off
Risks
- The two proposed scope items still to be fully assessed could prove to be too large/complex to deliver as part of this project
- Specialist BI developer is no longer available, which increases the demand on the remaining development resource, which may in turn delay the outstanding development tasks if there are conflicting priorities for the development team
- The remaining BI development activity may take longer to complete than initially estimated if not conducted by specialist
Next steps
- Complete initial analysis and assessment of proposed scope items, and finalise the scope of the project
- Sign off project brief
- Confirm development schedule for JIRA items not started and other scope items
- Agree and publish project milestones
- Complete business testing of JIRA development
Achieving the above steps should return the project to Green (currently reporting Amber due to unconfirmed scope items).
