This article describes how all the artifacts and activities involved in maintaining prices for TI OIT services fit together over the course of a fiscal year.
Annual process
late July 00: Make a copy of the TI Service Pricing FY01 sheet (call it TI Service Pricing FY02). FY01 prices are now set in stone (in the former); the latter is a working document for revising and adding FY02 prices. Link the new copy to the TI Service Catalog and Billing Coordination meeting calendar event.
late July 00: Create a Jira Epic "TI Service Pricing FY02" with high-level Description phases:
[] plan new fees or service offerings that will require changing F&F (July-November 00)
[] tweak/update pricing models as desired (July-November 00)
[] finalize pricing model & check for increases that will impact F&F (November 00)
[] assemble and submit all changes to F&F (November 00)
[] develop detailed budgets for new/increased F&F fees (December 00)
[] later pricing changes that don’t require F&F changes (January-March 01)
[] announce new pricing as necessary (April 01)
[] activate new pricing (early July 01)
As you work on specific services, create Child issues of this Epic and corresponding sub-items in the Description checklist.
Fines & Fees for FY02 become active in July 01 and need to be submitted ~January 01, so get started early: price revisions or price development for new service offerings that are part of Fines & Fees should be in progress by September and complete by November.
November 00: Finalize any new prices that would require Fines & Fees changes (at least "not to exceed" ceilings) with service offering managers, the TI service catalog and billing coordination committee, and finally the OIT Fiscal Officer in Fines & Fees review meetings.
December 00: Develop detailed fee calculation budget for each new fee or increase, using the Fines & Fees committee’s current template, to prepare for their submission by Fiscal Officer in January 01.
January-March 01: Finalize all new prices.
April 01: Announce new prices to appropriate populations, as necessary.
early July 01: Activate new prices
Update service catalog customer views (main & technical), TC price list, and consolidated rate sheet.
