    Maintenance packages

    Brainstorm what can the maintenance packages should include, in regards:

    • Types of services

    • Amount of hours

    • Website monitoring

    • Responsibilities

    • Types of packages

    One more topic for discussion. We have simply ongoing support, where not always all the bills are being paid off (Oneline is a bright example). So there should be a support package, depending on the needs of the customer. Basically it would be selling additional hours of the developers for creating new functionality, supporting existing one, bugs fixing if required, etc. Something alike outstaff, but more controlled.

    Discuss with the Teamleads along with PMO

    Provide not final packages, but a first draft of the packages
