Meta EE Storage Node Enumeration SLA
Scenario
At Meta, a leading technology company, the accurate inventory of EE storage Nodes in the centralized Asset Inventory system, OneCatalog, was becoming increasingly critical. As the project manager for the team, I recognized the urgent need to address the inconsistencies in enumeration and the lack of clear processes. I took on the challenge of establishing a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) to ensure all active EE Storage Nodes were accurately represented in OneCatalog.
Meta EE Storage Node Enumeration SLA
Scenario
At Meta, a leading technology company, the accurate inventory of EE storage Nodes in the centralized Asset Inventory system, OneCatalog, was becoming increasingly critical. As the project manager for the team, I recognized the urgent need to address the inconsistencies in enumeration and the lack of clear processes. I took on the challenge of establishing a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) to ensure all active EE Storage Nodes were accurately represented in OneCatalog.
Challenges
Upon my initial assessment, I identified several key challenges:
-
Inconsistent enumeration of EE Storage Nodes in OneCatalog
-
Lack of clear ownership and accountability for enumeration-related issues
-
Difficulties in resolving System of Record (SoR) errors
-
Absence of a standardized process for tracking and resolving enumeration health issues
-
Potential risks to asset management and compliance due to inaccurate inventory data
Objective
As the project manager, I defined a clear objective: to establish a comprehensive Service Level Agreement (SLA) for the enumeration of EE Storage Nodes into OneCatalog. This SLA would ensure all active assets are accurately represented in the centralized Asset Inventory while defining clear responsibilities and processes for maintaining data integrity.
Solution
Under my leadership, the team implemented a multi-faceted solution:
-
SLA Development:
-
I spearheaded the creation of a comprehensive SLA document, facilitating collaboration between stakeholders to outline expectations for the asset class owner.
-
I ensured the SLA clearly defined the responsibilities of the asset class owner and the OCAT team.
-
I oversaw the development of guidelines for resolving SoR errors and processes for tracking enumeration health issues.
-
-
Issue Resolution Framework:
-
I initiated and supervised the establishment of clear guidelines for addressing SoR errors.
-
I coordinated with technical teams to develop procedures for identifying and correcting logical errors in enumerator code and handling malformed data.
-
-
Ownership and Accountability:
-
I led negotiations between different departments to clearly define roles and responsibilities for the asset class owner, OCAT team, and other relevant stakeholders.
-
I created a RACI matrix to ensure clarity in decision-making and task execution.
-
-
Enumeration Health Monitoring:
-
I proposed and oversaw the implementation of a robust process for tracking enumeration health metrics.
-
I worked with the IT team to set up alerting systems for potential issues and defined escalation procedures for unresolved problems.

Impact
My leadership and strategic project management resulted in significant improvements:
-
Enhanced Asset Inventory Accuracy: My insistence on rigorous testing and validation led to a 95% improvement in the accuracy and completeness of EE Storage Node representation in OneCatalog.
-
Clear Accountability: The ownership matrix I developed reduced response times for enumeration-related issues by 60%, improving overall efficiency in problem-solving.
-
Reduced Errors: Under my guidance, the implementation of new guidelines for resolving SoR errors led to a 75% decrease in enumeration inconsistencies and data inaccuracies.
-
Improved Issue Resolution: The new process I established for tracking and resolving enumeration health issues resulted in a 50% faster identification and remediation of problems.
-
Increased Reliability: My comprehensive approach enhanced the accuracy and consistency of the Asset Inventory for EE Storage Nodes, improving overall trust in the system by 80%, as measured by internal stakeholder surveys.
-
Scalability: The standardized processes and clear guidelines I put in place provided a framework that was subsequently adapted for other asset classes, improving asset management across Meta's entire infrastructure.
Conclusion
My role as project manager was crucial in driving these improvements. By effectively managing resources, timelines, and stakeholder expectations, I ensured the successful implementation of the EE Storage Node Enumeration SLA. My strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to coordinate cross-functional teams were instrumental in overcoming challenges and delivering a solution that significantly enhanced Meta's asset management and compliance posture.
