Start with small changes
- Overcome fear and develop trust through controlled exposures
- Start small, don’t change everything at once
Questions:
How does this style fit with your current culture? What resistance is this likely to be met with? Do constraints exist that limit openness?
Suggestion example
Set up a GitHub Pages site on your GitHub Enterprise instance, and get developers blogging, publishing posts via pull requests leveraging the GitHub Flow.
Benefits of this approach include:
- Working on a non-production, non-commercial environment.
- Increasing comfort with sharing ideas and feedback with one another through hands-on practice.
- Developing a habit around the important practice of writing things down.
- Applying the GitHub Flow, which we consider to be an ideal workflow to strive for in any development environment.
- Leveraging continuous integration (CI), lowering contributor friction, and allowing reviews to focus on substance.
