Report of the Chamberlain

The Committee considered the report of the Chamberlain which provided an oversight of project progress. The report presented the communication approach being used with Chief Officers at Strategy Board. It also illustrated the links between the corporate plan and the Service Reviews currently underway.

Members noted that there were no “red” or “amber” status projects. Members noted the brand new set of charts included in the report, the intention of which was to provide Members with the insight as to how the Portfolio & Change team were monitoring resource allocation.

Officers informed Members that there were a total of 85 projects within the IS division. 33 were in flight, 25 were being scoped, 22 were unallocated, one was closed and four were on hold.  Officers stated that their view was that the overall number of projects was too high for an organisation this size and there was a critical review underway of the 85 projects within the portfolio, with a view towards rationalising them.
