RAG Commentary
Time and overall status set to amber due to: 1. Accessibility Testing is delayed from the scheduled start on 29th Mar and therefore will not complete by the date of the Go / No meeting on 7th April resulting in a possible delay to the launch of the first release DS 0.1 2. There is a risk that the Development Team are unable to complete delivery of all pre-requisite work items by the end of sprint 14 (12th Apr) due to availability of resources and capacity as a result of other project and operational requirements resulting in a possible delay to the launch of the first release DS 0.1
