The project’s overall health is Green, as the project makes progress in the activities. • SI delivered 11 project deliverables for review and approval to CDPH in July. • Sprint 1 progressed despite the additional time required for environment setup. • SI progressed functional readiness, advanced OCM planning and data‑mapping work, and progressed technical activities including environment preparation, data‑migration planning, preparation, and validation. • The program is planning to re‑prioritize efforts to make additional funds available to support FDSS, as the approved BCP provided only $10,000,000 for FY 26/27. |
