TransitionMaintenance
v39 v40 6 6 7 7 * We have a target of 22 hours per month for ongoing site maintenance (equivalent to £770 per month) 8 * We have an absolute maximum of 28 hours per month (equivalent to £1,000 per month)9 * We seem to be cruising at 24 hours per month (roughly £850) at 16/12)8 * We seem to be cruising at 24 hours per month (roughly £850) at 16/12 9 * We have an absolute maximum of 28 hours per month (equivalent to £1,000 per month) in Q1 2013 (Jan-March) 10 10 11 The assumed average hourly rate on which this is based is £35 p/h to take into account different tech's hourly rates. However, if a more expensive tech uses up more time, this can bend the money, while staying the time allowance - Beware. 12 13 Most of this work will be around website hosting and maintenance, but there will be times when developers (more expensive) do stuff too. 14 15 All work done for this needs to be on tickets categorised with the milestone maintenance; it is possible to have different categories (task, enhancement etc.) 16 17 There have been various changes over this year which you can read about in the budget confusion section at the bottom of this page, which Ed has kept for posterity and if we need to refer to it later when we are reckoning budgets at the end of March 2014. Please don't delete these. 11 * The assumed average hourly rate on which this is based is £35 p/h to take into account different tech's hourly rates.

Somehow he had asked them for not enough money based on his assessment of 2013 Q2 , and then incorrectly divvied up the money he got, assuming he got £1,027 per month instead of £770 - when actually he needed approx £840. So there is some confusion, and lots of the monthly analysis is now irrelevant, which he has since deleted for simplicity's sake. During this panic, Sally pointed out that the web and IT budget, within which this maintenance stream lives, is doing well to date and is, as a whole, under-budget, so this stream's confusion could be absorbed as Ed has spent less in other places. THEN: Since this panic, we have uncovered some excess in the Inner Transition budget which can bring £230 per month to the maintenance budget, so we can have a ceiling of £1,000 per month. Ed is targetting 22-24 hours done per month for Sam in 2014.72 Ed realised his budgetary maths was askew on 3/12 and that the monthly amount approved from the board meet was £6,000 + £3,250 = £9,250 = £770 per month.

Ed and Sarah discussed this on 11/12/13; in 2014/15 budget, we will have one stream for ongoing website work to cover both 'maintenance' and 'enhancements' with a model to aim for a quarterly/monthly total, and then any leftovers will be rolled up into 'site enhancements'. 75 73 76 74 === Changes made in July following board meeting and new budget and daily rate ===
