Issues

  • Loss of 1 full time member of the team has had an impact on the project and subsequent timescales - the outstanding work load is currently being split amongst some of the remaining team members;
  • Automation work stream slipped into Phase Two due to resourcing availability as a result of the Phase One deliverables which need to be delivered before automation can be undertaken.  This work stream will be defined with support from the College Learning Technologists once roll over has been completed (circa. June/July);
  • Template/Checklist and Terminology milestones slipped as a result of the additional work required on the template.

 

Next Steps

  • Checklist prototype to be signed off;
  • Terminology to be signed off;
  • Continued user experience activity and engagement ongoing;
  • Continued focus on training requirements for users;
  • Automation work stream to be defined and planned for Phase Two;
  • Student training W/C 3rd June with migration occurring W/C 10th June;
  • PhD intern start date to be confirmed;
  • Implementation plans to be finalised and passed to all Phase One Schools;
  • Phase Two to begin the planning stage;
  • Roll over to be completed W/C 10th June 2019.
