CC Feedback

Last time:

• Simeon re the Cost Review Group page: I like this proposal. Should there be a specific goals for "periodic" review of user permissions and the timeline of reporting on the budget?
  • User permissions:
    • Mark Veksler : align with flower releases.  Less frequent can be a security risk if someone rolls off the project.  Shouldn't take long.
    • Group agrees.
  • Budget reporting:
    • Mark Veksler set annual budget at start of FY.  Submit to CC for approval.  Review in alignment with flower releases.
      • Change 'review" to "set" the budgets, budget alerts, etc. annually.
      • Kitfox reports on actual AWS costs after every sprint (2w).  Report maybe monthly on their portion?  If Peter Murray   turned it into the overall report.
• Mark Veksler can join CC meeting on 8/14.

Today:

• Mark Veksler do the simplest possible.  Kitfox reports costs at sprint review.  Maybe monthly report the actuals vs. budget.
  
  • Peter Murray Invoice arrives on 2nd or 3rd of month.
  • Maccabee Levine how do we add value to Paula's numbers?
  • Peter Murray context: why did it increase or drop from previous month?  Trend line of individual services.  If it looks weird, looking deeper at why.  Should be easily generated into a spreadsheet.
  • Mark Veksler Ask Paula at what frequency she wants updates?
• Peter Murray will update budget page to parallel ACRG page.

New environment

• Reporting to CC since ACRG doesn't exist yet?
• Be prepared if there is a question from CC.

CC on August 14th

• Peter Murray will attend CC.  10am ET.
