Developer Workflow and Relations
At the heart of building an effective developer community, either inside or outside an organization are two things – great workflow and great developer relations. Doing this right makes a huge difference in engagement, participation, output, and overall developer satisfaction.
I have spent my entire career working with organizations and communities to build productive yet simple workflow and thoughtful and engaging developer relations. This is complex work: it involves identifying different developer roles, pulling together infrastructure, weaving in slim but effective process, methodologies, and engagement, and putting a full developer relations strategy behind it all.

“Jono has been instrumental in helping us formulate our strategy and playbook for developing our community from its inception.

“The practical and values-based approach that Jono brought to his book, *The Art of Community*, and his consulting are incredibly rare and valuable.
