May 18, 2020	@Andrew Atkinson	Planned Final Handover meeting, + PLANNED Early Alpha Release date Provisional date for Content authoring starts for next editing cycle
May 29, 2020	@Andrew Atkinson	PLANNED Alpha Release date Restart the mapping Drip Feed - this can actually be done earlier than the final Alpha if required, as the only pre-requisite is to complete the ICD-0/ICD-10 testing in the Alpha build. This is simply to provide confidence that there will not likely be map changes during the Alpha/Beta stage, which could in theory create re-work for the teams. This risk should be balanced against the growing backlog of map changes, and a decision made whether to use an early Alpha build to switch the drip feed back on. Restart validation in SCA (no longer relevant - new process should allow validation to re-start immediately when Content authoring starts for next editing cycle)
