IQA
Caravel provided a verbal update to the Electoral Commission Board on their findings and today have provided their draft report. The delivery confidence rating has come out as ‘likely’ and there are actions
highlighted that we can adopt that will increase the rating to ‘Highly likely’. The programme director is checking the report for accuracy and will provide a management comment and then the report will
come to the Programme Board and EC Board for discussion and agreed actions will be tracked.
Schedules
One of the areas identified in the IQA that could be improved are our schedules. We have not yet produced an integrated schedule due to detailed planning in some areas not been completed. This has also
held up confirmation that we have agreed timeframes for dependency delivery.
The project managers and programme team are having a planning day on 30 March which will be focussed on creating an integrated schedule, baselining it, and agreeing dependencies. To do this, the PMs
need access to the SMEs to agree deliverables and timing over deliverables. Teams have been encouraged to work with their PMs to complete the work that is needed for a successful planning day.
In April, following the planning day, you can expect to see more integrated reporting.
