The ATLAS Distributed Computing (ADC) group established a new Computing Run Coordinator (CRC) shift at the start of LHC Run 2 in 2015. The CRC shifter keeps track of ADC tasks related to their fields of expertise and responsibility. The CRC shifters coordinate daily ADC shift operations, including tracking open issues, reporting, and representing ADC in relevant meetings. The CRC also facilitates communication between the ADC experts team and the other ADC shifters. These include the Distributed Analysis Support Team (DAST), which is the first point of contact for addressing all distributed analysis questions, and the ATLAS Distributed Computing Shifters (ADCoS), which check and report problems in central services, sites, Tier-0 export, data transfers and production tasks. Finally, the CRC looks at the level of ADC activities on a weekly or monthly timescale to ensure that ADC resources are used efficiently.
