Proposal: Create Ops Engineering Feedback Group
Background
We work in a deeply technical stage that requires deep technical understanding of Ops related products, services, and technologies.
Product development in this area would greatly benefit from technical input on a regular basis to speed up feedback cycles, ensure the scalability of Ops architectures and head-off technical issues as well as duplicative efforts etc before they arise.
Proposal
Create a group composed of Engineers (EM and/or BE/FE) that provide technical engineering feedback to Product on an ongoing basis. This group would cover all of Ops, including both Configure and Monitor. The aim is to increase collaboration between Product and Engineering as well as increase collaboration between Configure and Monitor
Scope and duties
- Review product roadmap with a specific focus on technologies and engineering implementation
- Clarify technical concerns and questions about proposed Product goals
- Analyze existing and planned: architectures, dependencies, integrations.
- Find areas of technical overlap/duplication where shared efforts could/should exist
- Aid with coordinating technical transition and engineering roadmap for Ops growth over the next year.
- ??? Open to ideas here ???
Organization
The group will be organized similar to a working group but will continue on an ongoing basis rather than be limited time-wise.
I suggest it is organized as follows:
- Bi-weekly sync call (recorded)
- Slack channel
- Issues to track efforts.
