  commence today
• All Business Deployment activities are in GREEN
  status the first release to be in this position
  this early
• User-acceptance and regression testing has now

WLR3 Product Establishment Process Improvement

• Product Establishment (PE)
  process improvements
• A faster PE process has been successfully piloted
  with CPs using a proven Third Party Integrator
  (TPI) solution. These changes have been
  incorporated in the PE process and will shortly
  be published.
• The PE process including the Operational
  Readiness Testing (ORT) gate framework has been
  revised. This framework has been updated and
  simplified, PE tools to support efficient and
  consistent delivery management are in the process
  of being rolled out.
• ISDN30 PE is now incorporated in the WLR3 PE
  process. ISDN2 PE process is currently under
  development.

• CPs have access to the functional testing
  environment (CVF Customer Verification Facility)
  outside of PE for training purposes.

• Large demand on EMP has resulted in high influx
  of requirements
• Design resources have been stretched to manage
  the scale and complexity of activity
• Challenges exist in delivering some of the WLR3
  baseline
