System Readiness Levels - Update to the MoD IPT Self Assessment Tool
	The MoD has a tool which can be used by IPTs to determine the maturity of different facets of their programme. It has been recognised that this tool would benefit from a formal review, and if required, re-engineering.  The ASSC has been tasked with this review and update.
