Copilot summary
The project is 58% complete against 67% planned (SPI 0.87) and is forecast to finish on 12 May 2027 instead of 31 March 2027 — 42 days late. The slip sits in national-systems and agency integration (41% done) and the “Wave 1 complete” milestone, which missed 30 September and is now forecast for 12 November.
Three main causes: (1) the shared Nafath test environment was down for 9 days; (2) two vendor integration engineers left with no replacement — an impediment now overdue; (3) internal resource strain — the lead integration engineer is at 135% and shared with the mobile app. The membership-data migration plan was also returned for rework.
