Coached a SaaS team on reusable CI workflows

After four design sessions with SaaS developers on reusable CI workflows, the project lead asked me to run weekly pair reviews with the team and to share the approach as a best practice.

  • Delivery
  • Teaching

What would have happened

Each SaaS team would design its CI pipelines from scratch.

The call

Coach the developers through the design by pairing with them, and let them build the workflows.

What I did

Held four design discussions on the Java workflow flavor, then weekly pair reviews with the developers.

What changed

The project lead made the pair reviews a weekly practice and suggested I share the approach as a best practice for SaaS teams.

Proof

The original documents are held in my private record and can be shared on request.

What people said

“Thank you for all the time you have given us so far. We have thoroughly enjoyed the learning.”
