Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance operational efficiency and security across multiple projects by applying micro-hacks and developing a hardening engine.

Key Activities

  • Consolidated 12 operational hacks to improve project management efficiency with templates and schedules.
  • Developed operational summaries and artifacts for project pitching, specifically for the Argentine Poverty Atlas.
  • Reviewed project statuses using checklists and templates for evidence verification.
  • Designed a lightweight hardening assessment tool with a checklist, remediation actions, and scoring system.
  • Created a comprehensive design for a hardening engine in Python, including data structures, algorithms, error handling, and deployment roadmap.
  • Outlined a dynamic scoring algorithm for project management to prioritize tasks effectively.
  • Developed a systematic decision-making approach for project management using metrics and operational flows.
  • Planned an execution algorithm for operational checks, focusing on error handling and batch remediation.
  • Detailed a plugin pattern for a checks runner, including API contracts and security considerations.
  • Organized preparation steps for a runner/agent builder, focusing on data integrity and project setup.
  • Designed a hardening runner to check code, pipeline, and data integrity across projects.

Achievements

  • Completed the design and initial implementation of a hardening engine and dynamic scoring algorithm.
  • Developed operational templates and summaries for project pitching and management.

Pending Tasks

  • Finalize the implementation of the hardening engine and scoring algorithm.
  • Conduct security and operational testing for the checks runner.
  • Complete the setup for the runner/agent builder and integrate it with existing projects.
