Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many workarounds for the Common Platform (a) have been developed and (b) are in place.
We are developing the system in an agile way, which means that as we move through transition from the old system to the new or where there is further functionality to be delivered, we may temporarily introduce a workaround. The staff intranet pages, supported by email alerts and team stand up meetings, provide staff with an update on changes to workarounds ensuring they are aware of the latest changes.
82 workarounds have been developed to date and as of 24th August, there are 14 active workarounds in place.
