The Project Initiation Stage has been largely completed, although replies from HEI staff have been slow in arriving, largely owing to the start of the new academic year. The Project Board has met and agreed the plan of action for the first two stages (Project Initiation and User Requirements).
The User Requirements Stage is progressing satisfactorily. The main activities were to design and publish surveys of HEI staff, rejected applicants and IAG staff in schools and colleges. These were finished and published at the end of September. We may need to allow until the end of October for replies, which will slightly delay the survey analysis and the start of the development process, but will not be critical.
The project has welcomed Neil England to the team as business analyst. He has now started the work on the initial modelling, in conjunction with Geoff Ramshaw and Alan Paull.
The publication of the project website and starting of the project blog have been delayed by a couple of weeks. This is not a serious problem and will be rectified shortly.
Collection of HEI staff experience of the existing system for 2009 entry will happen in the second half of October and early November, via existing surveys and our consultation contacts.
