What happens inside

This workflow course sits between pure automation and release management. You will map quality signals in CI, design flaky-test policies, and practice writing RFC-grade recommendations when pipelines need restructuring—not just more scripts.

Included cadence

  • SLI/SLO vocabulary tuned for testers
  • Red/yellow/green policy worksheet
  • Sample GitHub Actions graph to annotate
  • Async role-play: you brief a mock engineering manager
  • Office hours on artifact storage costs
  • Template for weekly release health memo
  • Office hours transcript pack

Outcomes you can audit

Draft a pipeline risk brief with two measurable gates.
List three artefacts your team should stop hoarding.
Facilitate a fifteen-minute triage on failing jobs.

Straight answers

Is this about writing YAML all day?

Some reading, but focus is decision-making and communication—not authoring every step.

Bare metal servers?

Examples assume cloud-hosted runners; adapt principles with your platform team.

One-on-one coaching?

Not included; pair sessions are group-based to keep cohort energy high.

Participant notes

“Pipeline Signals reframed flaky tests as inventory, not shame. Our weekly memo now lands in Slack without eye rolls.”
Dante · Fleet logistics
“Short, punchy. Wanted another week on observability taps—still useful.”
Yeji · Developer expanding to tests
