Latest start date Monday 12 July 2021 Why the Work is Being Done The Home Office and the National Police Chiefs’ Council are currently implementing a number of National Law Enforcement initiatives. These have been mapped to ensure that there is a clear view of when and how delivery of these initiatives impacts on the stakeholder community. Work to maintain and develop this insight, as initiatives progress through their various delivery stages, is necessary to enable a more effective portfolio management approach and ensure that the initiatives are operating in a complementary manner (identifying any overlaps or gaps), any critical dependencies are understood and critical milestones are mapped and communicated so that the Police Forces are able to ensure their business readiness . Many of the initiatives are now very mature whilst others are being added to the pipeline. There is a need to ensure that lessons are being learned and applied as new initiatives are stood up and that best practice is being actively shared across projects and programmes regardless of where they sit in the delivery lifecycle. There is also a need for support with engagement on a proposal for an alternative delivery approach for the larger law enforcement technology programmes being delivered by the Home Office. Problem to Be Solved Maintaining engagement between the various programme teams and their target consumers. Capturing key insights and lessons learned and ensuring these are shared and adopted across different programmes. Supporting programme engagement as they adopt new or alternative delivery models reflective of the project delivery lifecycle stage they are at. Collection and maintenance of project data including planning, risk and Dependency and critical milestone identification; Support and mange systems for reporting and governance. Benefits management; Implementation and improvement of a programme view; Continually refresh and keep current all portfolio data; On boarding of further projects that come into scope; Prepare management information across the landscape and specifically a connected and overarching view of the vision of these programmes in totality every 6 months within this parliament so as to provide a clear picture of the overall agenda for the digital transformation.
