The following members of other functional teams are our stable counterparts:
Error budgets are one of the Dev sub-department/section's performance indicators. They're vital in determining how reliable services within Dev are over any given timeframe. The budget is spent any time user-facing services experience a percentage of errors or latency breaching their defined thresholds. We track our error budgets using Grafana dashboards.
Engineering Managers in Dev focus on the 7-day timeframe of their error budget. An example dashboard can be found here.
Every week, engineering leaders meet to discuss topics including the error budgets across the entire Engineering Division.
Dev engineering leaders use this Google document to track our error budget status week-over-week, which are then reported on in these meetings by senior leadership.
Engineering Managers are advised to report up to their managers, or self-report the status of their group on Monday's using the above document to ensure we have an accurate weekly snapshot of the sub-department's error budget status, outstanding reliability issue status, and past due security issues.
One way that groups can keep error budgets in mind is by automating a weekly reminder in Slack to check on their error budget.
A Slack workflow can be created that allows any member of the team to provide a quick update on the current error budget status.
(Sisense↗) We also track our backlog of issues, including past due security and infradev issues, and total open SUS-impacting issues and bugs.
(Sisense↗) MR Type labels help us report what we're working on to industry analysts in a way that's consistent across the engineering department. The dashboard below shows the trend of MR Types over time and a list of merged MRs.
