Report for February 2020

Report Date
February 2020

Achievements in Last Period:

  • A review of work has lessened the expected effort to complete the project.
  • A re-plan is underway and whilst early milestones have not been achieved, there is optimism that work can be completed in line with the original project end dates. 

Issues:

  • The project has slipped markedly when it comes to accurate milestone reporting.
  • There remains contention between Service Management resource undertaking Service Management activities and those separate tasks expected to be covered under the time-lines of the project. As part of the re-plan, work will be re-prioritised to fit more closely to the availability of diaries.
  • There has been some miscommunication across project resource which will be addressed going forward with more regular meetings.

Next Steps:

  • A revised plan will be issued by the 6th March.
  • Resource will be sought to undertake testing  of the re-tuned mailboxes and mail-flow for security.
  • Implementation of tightened access controls on Office 365 admin accounts.
