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.
