One effective way to ensure inclusion of performance is using your performance service level agreements (SLAs) as acceptance testing for each story. Performance needs to be somewhere on the task board if the team is going to give it attention. There are bigger, more heavyweight databases that can do that, of course, but this is a pretty, friendly, usable implementation of the theory.By Larry Loeb, Veteran Technology Editor and Authorīehold, the five best practices that can help maximize advantages while assisting with load testing in an Agile environment. ConclusionĪirtable is a super useful tool for being able to organize data when some parts of it are fixed and some parts change and you need to be able to keep the associations together. Most conference organizers are lovely about helping me out with these things. That gives me an error budget for weather/flights/etc. Rather than discombobulating myself or the conferences, I can ask now, months ahead of time, to speak on the first day of DevOpsDays Chicago and toward the end of SRECon.
For example, DevOpsDays Chicago is a great event, but it’s literally the day before I need to be in Dusseldorf. Sometimes it’s possible to look at this and make better arrangements. (If we were all good at predicting conflicts from dates and times, we would not have Outlook Meetings Calendar, is what I’m saying) Now I can tell ahead of time that I can only accept one of those three conferences starting on the 24th, and that allows me to be a more polite speaker. But it tells me about conflicts in a way that has been very hard for me to predict from just looking at dates. This view right here is worth everything I spend on Airtable, and I’m certainly not a power user.

You probably don’t need the full version.
#CHICAGO TASKBOARD FREE#
It’s useful information.Īll of those features are available at the free level, and it’s powerful enough for most people, but did I mention I apply to a lot of conferences? More than there are weeks.
That gives me a good overview of whether a talk is “wearing out” or less likely to be accepted than another kind of talk. 2įurther down on the talk card, I can see all the conferences I submitted the talk to and whether it was accepted or not. Have I drafted it? Made slides? Practiced it on my own or in front of other people? Cards Pt. Frequently I include the proposal I submitted here, along with information about how far along in the process of creation the talk is, all configured by me. I can drill down into any talk title for a card that has a bunch of information on the talk. At a glance, I can tell what I have coming, and what talk I’m giving (if I remembered to enter it, because I’m sometimes not great at that, as you can see. I’ve grouped it by the Talk Accepted dimension and then the date.
I have it sorted so that conferences that are over or that have not accepted any talks from me are not showing, because I really only need to know about what is coming or may be coming. It really helps me to be realistic about how conferences stack and overlap with each other. I’m now paying for the full version, which gives me the calendar view, and that’s been my killer feature. Since then, I’ve suggested it to several other developer relations people and I know some of them are using it. That’s a lot! I complained about the problem, and Thursday Bram suggested Airtable, as a beautiful mashup of a taskboard and a spreadsheet. I tried Trello, but there weren’t enough dimensions. But how do you keep track of it all?Īt first I tried to use Google Calendar, but that did’t work. And part of speaking at conferences is applying to lots and lots of conferences. I know, it’s not a very catchy title, but it is descriptive.Ī large part of my current job is speaking at conferences and talking about feature flags, systems resiliency, and whatever else I can talk people into.
