As an #SRE how do you influence senior leadership to get support and priority for the things you care about?

To answer this question I'm joined by Nora Jones, founder of Jeli and now Head of Pricing, Product Strategy and Growth at PagerDuty. Our conversation touches on...

๐Ÿค How understanding needs to flow both ways (between engineers and leaders)
๐ŸŽจ Reliability is as much an art as a science
๐Ÿ“ Using napkin math to start conversations
๐Ÿง  Understand the system (your org) before trying to change it
๐Ÿ’ฌ Using micro-interactions to gradually implement change

...and so much more.
