(We are changing our Quarterly schedules to fit in with the academic year from now on. So 2022/3 Q1 will begin on 1 May 2022. As a consequence, we will use April to continue with 2021/2 Q4 work, and plan out 2022/3 Q1 work)

Overview of the last couple of weeks Any interruptions to our apps / Live Defects Team going through what they’ve achieved during the last couple of weeks Feedback from those on the call on what we have done (constructive criticism / praise / questions) Collaboration with those on the call on what to do next
| Please ask questions, that’s what this Review is primarily for - your constructive interrogation of what we’re doing: out loud on the call - really, we’d appreciate you doing this!; write in the Team meeting chat; or fill in the post-Review survey after the call (for questions that occur after the call is over, or if you don’t want to ask the question during the call for whatever reason, and for letting us know whether the Review meets your expectations, or whether you have some suggestions for improvement)

Executive Summary:
Expand
LiveDefects this iteration (last fortnight):
Revalidation unusable - bulk data cleanup script proved to be too intensive and blocked connection to the database from the application
GMC sync failed - Reval data temporarily disappeared - GMC had made some security changes following a cyber attack on them, without confirming impact with us
Reval app: Button labelling change - “Edit” to “Create”, 2 bugs fixed, further progress on filtering
TIS Self-Service app: Good progress on the 3rd pilot / Tranche 1
TIS:
ESR: We now display the Position Number from ESR along with when they notified us of a position that we reconciled with a Post in TIS.
Quarterly Objectives and Key Results (OKRs): steady progress, except on surveys coming in for the TIS Self-Service 2rd Pilot / Tranche 1.
Changes to the roadmap: n/a
Live Issues:

(the reason we include these is to be open and transparent about when our apps have been compromised, in order to confirm that we’re constantly iterating to improve performance, resilience and security of our Apps.)

2 bugs fixed | | |
Trainee Information System (TIS) | Placement date range validation | Edward Barclay | Bulk uploads are now validated to make sure that the placement starting date is before the ending date. |
Fix: unable to export bulk upload error reports when the spreadsheet has notes/comments | Yafang Deng | |
Fix: email address validation | Reuben Roberts | We resolved an issue where edits could not be made to the personal details of trainees with apostrophes in their email address (which should be permitted, but were being rejected by the server-side component). |
Duplicate specialty validation in placements | Steven Howard Yafang Deng | Fix to prevent duplicate specialty being added as primary, secondary or other in placement form in user interface.
Demo from prod Placement bulk create/update - error message: No two of primary/other/sub specialty(ies) can be set with the same value.  |
Electronic Staff Record (ESR) | Show ESR’s positions when reconciled against TIS | Joseph (Pepe) Kelly | We now display the Position Number from ESR along with when they notified us of a position that we reconciled with a Post in TIS. Some positions were already reconciled so we don’t have the date - https://apps.tis.nhs.uk/admin/posts/edit-post/85122 Positions which ESR have told us are deleted are not displayed in TIS but are available for use in reports.  |
