GitHub and Microsoft Services: Developer Support – elevate and accelerate

Charlie Trotter the James Beard award winning Chicago restaurateur said, “One must know combinations, one must have a true knowledge of food to be in the moment.” Pairing and combinations of the right food and drink results in an elevated eating experience.

Likewise, pairing GitHub with Microsoft Services: Developer Support is a combination that can lead to an elevated software development lifecycle experience. And we know software development! 

Did you know, the more you know the farther you will go?

Did you know one of the many benefits of being a Microsoft Unified customer is the ability to leverage GitHub Professional Services Offerings delivered by GitHub Engineers (on-site and remote)? This provides you the benefits of diversity of thought and elevated experience in a frictionless and agile way through your relationship with Microsoft.

One offering that has provided accelerated requests is the GitHub: InnerSource Workshop. Our Microsoft Services: Developer Support clients aspire to benefit from the successful practices of the open source community to drive business outcomes in their organization. This workshop is focused on both leaders and developers, helping them adopt news ways of working to deliver value more quickly. We identify and review the five tenets of InnerSource:

1. Open: create a level playing field for the open sharing of work,
2. Transparent: ensure the process as well as the product is visible,
3. Participative: make it easier for others to collaborate,
4. Collaborative: increase quality by increasing quantity and
5. Governed: reduce missteps by providing clear goals and support.

We have additional workshops focused on other audiences (administrators, developers, etc.) and non-developers that contribute value to the software lifecycle.

Want to go farther? Let’s go together!

As Satya Nadella said “Developers are the builders of this new era, writing the world’s code. And GitHub is their home.”
