Check-in on Budget/Spending

 

  • See the table below (In Progress)

  • The projections are high-level projections through the end of the grant. March may have more funding spent around the release time.

  • Discussion:

 

Contracting Update

Any concerns or updates?

Double check the contract end dates.

  • Contracts end 31 May 2019

  • Invoiced amounts will decline starting in April

  • For JSI, there are some admin close-out costs in May; hopefully those will be covered by April coming under budget. (May time was not included in the estimate JSI provided.)

 

Travel Requests

Current Plan:

May 6-7 in Nairobi, Kenya, hosted by Ona

@Wesley Brown to inform Olivia about this trip, specifically for JSI funding, and confirm that contracts/budgets can support the expected costs and extra time 

 

March & April (Sprints 121 &122)  -  Gap Project Review

Team Performance

Please note that performance does NOT include meetings, design work nor testing. Points do not reflect all the work completed but are the best measure at this time and help us understand where the effort is during the sprints.

 

Team Feedback:

  • Across the board: 

    • Wes: The teams have completed their final 3.6 features (or shortly will be) and the testing/release  process will start on Monday

  • Ona

  • JSI (Ashraf)

    • Programming for 3.6 features is complete but testing is ongoing and should be completed by EoB on Friday

    • Working on feedback from reviews

  • MTG (Sam)
