Executive Overview
| Question | Status | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Is the team behind schedule? | โ ๏ธ Possible | Jira Data Center integration critical for RSA demos โ only days to fix. Agent reliability at 15%. |
| Problems preventing cycle goal? | ๐ด Yes | Jira DC auth broken (basic auth vs API token mismatch). ThreatConnect tool calls failing with validation errors. Both block Cyber workflows. |
| Foresee issues for next period? | โ ๏ธ Possible | RSA Conference (next week) will reduce engineering bandwidth. Deloitte expects RSA in-person review with fixes ready. |
| Unscheduled tasks this cycle? | ๐ด Yes | Jira DC debugging, ThreatConnect parameter investigation, SMK 1.0.3.1 release prep โ all unplanned work. |
| Have any estimates changed? | ๐ข No | โ |
| Tasks added or deleted this cycle? | ๐ด Yes | 4 new issues from Mar 17 Cyber Weekly + Jira DC and ThreatConnect escalations from today's call. |
| Technical problems encountered? | ๐ด Yes | Jira DC: auth flow assumes API token when using basic auth. ThreatConnect: MCP parameter descriptions causing validation errors. Fix may be in main but not in SMK release cut. |
| Resource problems? | โ ๏ธ Possible | Meta Global Ops fully unresourced (10 backlog items, 0 assigned). RSA week reduces available engineering. 25/25 open items across workstreams unassigned. |

| ๐ด Fix Jira Data Center auth (CRITICAL) โ resolve basic auth vs API token mismatch for self-hosted Jira DC. Must be ready before RSA. | Engineering | ASAP / Pre-RSA |
| Investigate ThreatConnect parameter validation โ determine if fix is in main but not in release cut; if so, push SMK v1.0.3.1 | Bryan / Engineering | This week |
| RSA in-person review session โ Mo, Bryan/Nick, Kindo team meet Monday afternoon to walk through full update list | Tony / Mo Nezarati | Mon Mar 24 |
| Agent long-running reliability (Phase 1) โ context compaction, automatic retries, better error messages. Currently 15% through. | Engineering | End of March |
| SMK v1.0.3.1 release package โ includes dashboard agent cleanup + additional fixes not in v1.0.3.0 | Brandon | Pre-RSA |
| Webhook retry context preservation โ ensure workflow restarts retain original webhook trigger context (feedback from Deloitte) | Engineering | Apr |
| Streamlined one-click SMK installation โ environment validation tooling + simplified deployment process | Engineering | In progress |
| Milestone | Target Date | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Jira DC + ThreatConnect integration fixes deployed to SMK | Mar 21 (Fri) | ๐ด At Risk |
| RSA Conference โ in-person review session with Deloitte | Mar 24 (Mon PM) | โ ๏ธ Scheduled |
| Agent reliability Phase 1 โ first capability drops | End of March | โ ๏ธ 15% |
| SMK v1.0.3.1 release to Deloitte | Pre-RSA | โ ๏ธ In Progress |
| Program dashboard ready for Deloitte leadership | Pre-RSA | โ ๏ธ In Progress |
| Agent reliability Phase 2 โ compaction + full retry | Mid-April | Planned |
| Meta Global Ops โ squad allocation & kickoff | TBD | Not Started |
| ID | Impact | Trend | Description | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | High | ๐ | RSA readiness at risk. Jira DC integration broken, needed for demos. Days remaining before RSA. | Engineering prioritizing Jira fix above all else. Fallback: demo on hosted instance only. |
| R2 | High | โก๏ธ | Missing Exhibits D & E in contract. No formal product spec or roadmap exhibit. Verbal commitments could be argued as enforceable scope. | Establish docs.kindo.ai as de facto Exhibit D. Frame requirements sessions around doc baseline. |
| R3 | Med | ๐ | Agent reliability below Deloitte expectations. Agents quit during long tasks. Timeout Band-Aids applied; root cause fix at 15%. | Phase 1 drops end of March. Context compaction + retries + better error reporting. |
| R4 | Med | โก๏ธ | Release cut lag. Fixes merged to main may not be in SMK release. ThreatConnect fix potentially in this gap. | v1.0.3.1 release being prepared. Need clearer release-to-SMK pipeline. |
| R5 | Med | โก๏ธ | Meta Global Ops fully unresourced. 10 backlog items, 4 high-priority, zero squad allocated. | Defer until post-RSA. Allocate squad in next Program Planning cycle. |
| ID | Description | Status | Owner | Due Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I1 | Jira Data Center auth broken โ basic auth flow incorrectly requests API token. Deloitte unable to access self-hosted Jira DC at all. "Extremely critical" per Deloitte. | OPEN | Engineering | ASAP (Pre-RSA) |

URL params, navigation, filters. Unblocks SOC short-term. Doesn't solve escalation cycle.
Expose API for Deloitte to build custom UIs. Relatively easy. Shifts UI burden to customer.
v0/Lovable-style system. ~90 days R&D. Solves the problem permanently. Quarter-sized investment.
- โธ Discussion focused on internal Deloitte infra friction โ K8s environment differences not fully understood internally
- โธ NGINX ingress deprecation referenced by Deloitte, but Kindo ships AWS ALB (not the same thing, per Marcos)
- โธ Amazon Bedrock model catalog โ some models require preliminary customer steps to enable access

โ Additional Services amendment
The reference contract defines the product by its Documentation. For the Deloitte engagement, docs.kindo.ai serves as the canonical baseline.
Every requirement is triaged against this baseline:
Without Exhibit D (product spec) and Exhibit E (roadmap), verbal commitments from demos/sales could be argued as enforceable scope. Mitigation: Establish docs.kindo.ai as the de facto Exhibit D.

Risks & Blockers
Missing Exhibits D & E in Contract
Without product specification (D) and roadmap (E), verbal commitments from demos/sales calls could be argued as enforceable scope. Biggest scope governance risk.
Critical RiskOkta Integration Bug (ENG-8639)
Partial/no data, disconnected state โ "Client association GWT kit is invalid" error. Blocks ENG-8795 (Okta write tools, explicit Deloitte request).
BlockerServiceNow OAuth2 Bug (ENG-8794)
OAuth2 connection fails while REST API works. Related to broader ServiceNow/SAP connectivity (ENG-8425, ENG-8304).
BlockerMeta Global Ops โ Fully Unresourced
10 issues, all in backlog, zero assigned. 4 high-priority items (RACI plan, 2FA workarounds, screenshot engine, web flow hardening). No squad allocated.
Capacity RiskDeloitte K8s Environment Confusion
From today's call: Deloitte doesn't fully understand differences in their own K8s environments. NGINX ingress vs AWS ALB confusion. May cause deployment friction.
Infra RiskAmazon Bedrock Access Prerequisites
Some Bedrock models require preliminary customer steps to enable access. Deloitte may not have completed these.
Dependency~25 Unassigned Open Issues
Significant portion of open portfolio has no squad allocation. Particularly acute for Cyber (12 open, many unassigned) and all cross-workstream items.
Capacity Risk| Dependency | Blocks | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Okta connection bug fix (ENG-8639) | ENG-8795 (Okta write tools) | In Triage |
| SMK release package (ENG-8732) | 7 SMK deployments | In Progress |
| SailPoint write ops (email from Deloitte) | ENG-8640 (SailPoint expansion) | Waiting |
