Hi bro,
Another day, shall I say working day or whatever is left of it! I trust you are still up for this regular feedback. How was your day though?
I’ll report as I progressed throughout the day which means I might repeat myself occasionally if a task or discussion took place on the same topic at different stages during the date. This morning I set out for myself the following tasks – understand what checklist is necessary to do the RDS check, find out whether a data dictionary has been made available and where it’s if that is the case, read through the LCPD acceptance report to understand what would be expected on the BPD project. I also planned to look at the re-weighting email from ZR but didn’t come to do that, unfortunately. I am hoping it’s something I can pick up maybe tomorrow but remind me so I don’t forget because it could be something very important.  I can confirm that I glanced through the acceptance report, and it includes MIRS checks, Data dictionary, ICL, different datasets when they were received etc. Links to useful documentations from the LCPD are included below this message. One thing I’d like to note is the document also include MDS checks which I think should be dealt with later but it’s good I have the template to follow.
You will be pleased to know I made a go at identifying what would be needed to carry out the RDS checks. This is the list of tasks I thought about – checklist (which BA and LR have already begun working on), split the tasks and assign owner (I have a draft task list but not fully complete yet so there is no owner as yet), set up a query log which will be used throughout , and need to make a decision of whether checks are needed for the appendices as well (this latter one came very late in the day. I’ll probably cast an eye on the LCPD document to see how they delt with them). My draft plan isn’t complete but tomorrow I need to finalise at least before we get access the RDS.
I attended a meeting with the DET, and it was recommended that we fill in the log file with responses to some queries related to the BPD project. The link of the log is attached to the meeting invite. As for the priority list requested for the DQ, it was suggested, and I supported it that the priority list for 2021 should be used and including any new variables. But we can add more variables if necessary. What is important is that the DET adopt a pragmatic approach to DQ. 
As discussed yesterday, we started our first stand up meeting today. This will be ongoing until PA is back. This a quick summary from the meeting. We all need to know the deadlines of the project. The milestones should be understood. ZR suggested I plan for the RDS checks and then communicate with her on that. Once the plan is done, maybe I could take a copy of the current project plan and shift the data section by 3 weeks – this is how long the RDS checks was planned for. Ideally, we should aim to complete the ICL check this week. We should have a meeting to discuss about the project plan on Monday. Stand up are for status updates and raising any blockers. We can have separate meetings to have details discussions on some project items.
For the rest of the day, the focus was on the ICL discussion and planning for the RDS check. Again here, I am providing a summary of different points raised during the ICL meeting. There was a question of why sector name would be missing – it was suggested by ZR that this could form part of the RDS check. We should drop branches from RDS, but the DET needs to help us identify branches although FRAL would be responsible for implementing the change. We need to find out if our definition of branches is correct if not, what is the appropriate definition? Why MCL is not populated – we need to provide some examples to the DET. I’ll need to speak to Barbara tomorrow to find out how to communicate these to the DET. Is there any template we could use? If the process to get the template will take long, we could email them some examples in first instance but these need to be included in the queries log eventually for traceability. We need to find out if the data we received, all are internally rated. When there is no grading date, should the record be dropped? Practically, we couldn’t tag every record so we will focus on the ones in scope.
There are probably a few things I have overlooked but I believe the above are the main discussion points and things I have done today. As always, please let me know where there is lack of clarity or if you have any other questions or suggestions.
Thanks
DC
