Impact
Priority and Funding
HSS029 was approved by ISG WIS on February 1st, 2019 as a Discretionary project.
The overall project priority for HSS029 is NORMAL.
This project is Core funded and has been allocated 54d (days) of CAHSS College Ring-fenced.
Impact and Dependencies
Impact
- This project should reduce the current operational effort expended by Academic and Student Administration – CAHSS, on supporting the programme and school reporting process using SPQS
- SPQS process data will become more GDPR compliant, which has been identified by Academic Services as a current blocker to their support for University-wide adoption of SPQS
Dependencies
- That there are no significant changes to the current processes and templates used for the University Quality Framework (UQF)
- That there are also no significant changes to the EUCLID student management system’s data schema, generated by other projects, during the HSS029 project lifetime
- SPQS requires a feed of programme data from SITS via a SITS API.
- Suitable IS Software Development team resources will be assigned to HSS029 by the start of the Build phase (currently March 2019).
- Acceptance testing resources provided by Student Systems and Administration will be available to test any HSS029 system configuration changes during May 2019
Project Risks
| Ref | Title | Impact | Probability | Mitigation | Risk Owner |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | SPQS Organizational Support Agreement (OSA) Change |
Moderate |
Low | To review proposed changes to OSA with Project Sponsor, Senior User and Senior Supplier. | Leon Toland |
| 2 | HSS029 Resource Estimation Uncertainty | Low | Low | To perform further project estimation (using 3-point / PERT estimation techniques) during the Planning stage of HSS029. | Leon Toland |
| 3 | HSS029 Project Schedule Extension During Planning | Low | Medium | To perform more detailed project planning, involving Senior User and Supplier resources, during the next, Planning phase of HSS029 | Leon Toland |
| 4 | CAHSS College Resource Support for HSS029 Acceptance Testing | Moderate | Medium | To review key project milestones and budget and raise PICCL, if outside baseline project tolerance levels. | Alastair Duthie |
| 5 | SSP BA and Developer Resource Risk | High | Low | To maintain the current link between SPQS and the current Admissions stream of EUCLID, which will not require any BA or developer support from SSP. | Lisa Dawson |
| 6 | Delivery Phase 1 Development Rework from Delivery Phase 2: | Moderate | Medium | To maintain the current link between SPQS and the current Admissions stream of EUCLID, so that a single phase only for HSS029 delivery is required. | John Allison |
