Typical day at Colonies

When starting your day, you will take some news from your remote colleagues on slack while drinking your coffee.

It is your Batman day: you have to check production alert and ticket coming from support. If you can’t fix them yourself, you will transfer it to the right contact and ensure it is taken in account.

You check your tickets on Jira and share your status at the daily: what you have done yesterday, what you will do today, and what are your blockers if any

You and your team have a discussion planned with your product manager to review coming features, understand the why and what will be the value for the users. You will in async define with your team how to implement that and give a rough estimation to your PM.

A message pop on slack asking for a review. You take it!

You are now focus on your dev: you have setup your environment, define what you will need for the monitoring & alerting on your delivery. You deploy on the dev env so PM can validate the story.

A ticket is coming from support: you need to analyse it. It seems that you need more information. You contact the ticket creator to discuss that point. You solve the trouble. Congrats!

Back to your dev: ticket is validated and you are ready to deploy to staging!

End of day! Thanks for helping at improving tenant experience!
