Present Project Phase

Phase 4 highlight report

Next Project Phase Main Topic

Standing Items

Staff and Resourcing

Long-standing resourcing challenge remains with Fab being out-prioritised. Contractor resource due this month.

Welfare

No concerns at present. Keir Bovis will line manage our contractors and ensure the basics are taken care of.

Review Risk/Issue Log

The risk and issue log has had an incremental refresh.

Pathway to Green

Appointment of contractors offers a good opportunity to ensure Fab is healthy.

Review Stakeholders

At present, the stakeholder analysis is probably fit for purpose because it keeps us focused on our main goal. Once fab is on the way to being proven, then reaching out further would be desirable.

Change Management Issues

Once the plan has been agreed, we should determine if it needs to pass through the formal NGMS change management process. A further iteration may be needed later if our estimate of progress through using the contractors is too optimistic.

AOB
