RAG Commentary
Issue: The project manager has been redeployed 2 days per week on the Web Publishing Platform Projects/programme. Impact: This reduces the time the project manager can progress with planning and other project activities. Next steps: the PM will try to bring in another PM to assist with planning and project management.
