4/16/2010 CSS Billing Working Group
10:00 am in N42-286
Proposed Agenda: "CSS Cohesion, Transparency, Collective Effort"
- Recap -- where we are in what we're working on.
-
- Group Cohesion as the Billing Working Group -- regular meetings, shared perspective on our common problems, respect for our individually different problems. We are the group and we can solve our problems.
- PMATS -- asked SAIS to change the DTR text to be more useful
- Direct Billing via TNSC-for-CSS -- evaluating whether Direct Billing in this way should be in our toolkit, and if so, start prototyping how.
- Operational Standards -- Group Process Calendar
- with Irina Vainstock facilitating, as part of CSS HQ's Process Calendar initiative
- Schedule billing windows per line of business. Let's hammer out a consistent production schedule – how often and precisely when in the month/quarter will we commit to processing the existing billables? Goals include smoothing out volume of JV files sent to finance.
- Other Process Improvement Initiatives
- Remind ourselves of things on The List -- should we take any off?
- Brainstorm things not on the list -- what might we want to add?
- Prioritize things that are on the new list
- Spawn child processes to swarm things forward -- do people want to sign up to work on certain things?
