Example Support Pod
A template for team members who want to create their own Support Pod.
Purpose
To serve as a template for team members who want to create their own Support Pod.
Scope
Having a clearly defined scope makes it easier for others to know what topics to bring to the pod. Try using the existing lines within GitLab to define the scope of a Pod: GitLab product groups as defined in the DevOps stages are the SSOT for where which part/feature of the product is at home.
Current objectives
- Document how to start, run and shut down a Support Pod.
Support Pod members
Collaboration channels
- Slack channel: #spt_pods – please follow the
#spt_pod_$name
naming scheme when creating a dedicated channel for the pod. If$name
has multiple words, use-
to separate, e.g.#spt_pod_code-contributions
. - Optionally create a Slack group as well. You’ll need to create an access request
for IT to do so. As Slack group names can’t be identical to existing channel names, please use
@spt-pod_$name
for the group name (a-
instead of_
betweenspt
andpod
). If$name
has multiple words, use-
to separate, e.g.@spt-pod_code-contributions
