Communications cadence across the contractor team and the government stakeholders. The main federal-specific wrinkle: several of these channels are CDRL-mandated (they must happen, per contract), not just best-practice cadence.
| Communication | Audience | Frequency | Owner | Contractual? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Status Report | COR | Monthly (5th) | C. Tyrrell | Yes — CDRL A008 |
| Weekly Internal Team Sync | Acme Federal Systems delivery team | Weekly | D. Ferris | No |
| COR Check-in | M. Whitcombe | Bi-weekly | C. Tyrrell | No — but expected under QASP surveillance cadence |
| Steering / Sponsor Update | R. Osei | Monthly | C. Tyrrell | No |
| Security & ATO Working Group | T. Abernathy, K. Lindqvist, M. Whitcombe | Bi-weekly through Milestone Gate 1 | T. Abernathy | No — but ATO package (CDRL A007) depends on it |
| Contract Modification Requests | A. Reyes (CO) | As needed | C. Tyrrell | Yes — formal written request required by FAR |
