Green

During the October reporting period, the overall project health remained Green. Governance activities continued to follow established processes. The schedule focus area remained Yellow due to the ongoing rebaselining effort and the confirmed shift of UAT and Go-Live milestones. Cost performance remained aligned with the approved budget, and scope continued to reflect authorized work under SPR #1. Project staffing levels were adequate, and quality activities progressed without major issues. Risk monitoring continued to focus on the reduced window for Transition to M&O, and transition planning activities remained steady and coordinated.

Focus Area/Rating	Comments
Governance Green	During the October reporting period, Governance remained Green. Oversight and collaboration continued through regular sponsor meetings, PM and vendor coordination sessions, technical and functional working sessions, and monthly OCMT activities. Communication channels remained consistent and supported alignment on UAT readiness, configuration updates, and environment preparation.
Time Management Yellow	During the October reporting period, Time Management remained Yellow. The confirmed adjustment to UAT and Go-Live milestones required continued schedule refinement activities. UAT is planned to begin in January 2026 and Go-Live is planned for March 2, 2026. Iteration 6 and 7 timelines were updated to match the revised milestone sequence. The formal rebaselining process is ongoing, and the schedule focus area will remain in Yellow until the revised baseline is approved.
Cost & Contract Management Green	During the October reporting period, the Cost and Contract Management focus area remained Green. Project expenditures totaled $12,234,723 as of October 2025, representing 38% of the overall project budget. Spending continues to align with the approved budget baseline, and no cost variances were reported. The executed vendor contract amendment, which extends the SI contract through February 2026, remained active. The updated UAT and Go-Live dates may require an additional contract extension, and this will be evaluated once the revised schedule is approved.
Scope Management Green	During the October reporting period, Scope Management remained Green. All work performed in October stayed within the scope defined under SPR #1. Configuration updates, loader refinements, ETL adjustments, and dashboard promotions were consistent with the existing scope. No scope changes were requested or initiated.
Resources Green	During the October reporting period, Resource Management remained Green. Staffing levels were adequate, and the project team continued to use the 30-60 day tracker to coordinate resource availability. No staffing concerns or gaps were identified, and resource assignments continued to support UAT preparation, development tasks, and testing activities.
Quality Green	During the October reporting period, Quality Management remained Green. Regression testing, ETL validation, CTIPS loader verification, and Test environment readiness activities progressed without major issues. Quality reviews were completed on database and ETL updates, and testing confirmed the resolution of loader defects identified in September.
Risk And Issues Green	During the October reporting period, Risks and Issues remained Green. No new high severity issues were reported. The primary open risk continues to be the reduced transition window resulting from the new Go-Live date. This risk will be reassessed once the updated baseline schedule is finalized. Existing risks tied to integration activities, migration requirements, and dashboard alignment remain controlled through ongoing mitigation.
Transition Readiness Yellow	During the October reporting period, Transition Readiness remained Yellow. Training materials, curriculum updates, and walkthrough planning continued. The October OCMT session advanced training alignment and role-based updates. Although the transition window will be shorter due to the revised milestones, the project continues to monitor the timing and will reassess transition activities after the rebaselined schedule is approved.
Conditions For Approval Green	During the October 2025 reporting period, the Conditions for Approval focus area retained its Green rating. • The integrated project schedule requirement has been met. • The Test Management Plan has been approved. • The Transition to Maintenance and Operations Plan remains in progress—submission six months before the project end date is required.
