A sample Customer status report is included in the <br />appendices of this document, <br /> <br />For escalating issues within Altiris, the flow will go directly from the Altiris <br />consultant(s) to the Altiris Project Manager (if assigned), to the Area Services <br />Manager, and then to the Director of Altiris Consulting. <br /> <br />Typically, issues are given a color-coded label, depending on the severity and <br />affect on the overall scope of the project: <br /> <br />Green - The task is on track, according to plan, and within budget. <br /> <br />Yellow - The task is not on track, but it doesn't appear to jeopardize any key <br />deliverables of the overall engagement. Yellow status is reported in the weekly <br />e-mail status reports sent out to both the Altiris management team and the <br />Customer management team. At this point, risk mitigation is reviewed to see if <br />steps should be taken, If an item stays on the list as a Yellow item for more <br />than 1 week, it is typically reviewed and possibly promoted to a Red task. <br /> <br />Red - The task could jeopardize one of the engagement goals or has been <br />escalated by the customer. Items with a Red status are immediately reported up <br />one layer in the respective management chains to keep everyone well informed, <br />The items are tracked daily and conference calls are held at least once every 48 <br />hours to review action items associated with resolving the issue, If an item has a <br />Red status for more than 1 week, the item may be further escalated for review <br />and decision on how to resolve the issue. <br /> <br />(9 2006 Altiris, Inc.
