  1. Advise customers on Github's API (Application Programming Interface)
  • This is more technical, but being able to speak intelligently about our API and Webhook capabilities is a great goal to strive towards
  • What results a client could expect
    • API: Authentication, managing deploy keys, using SSH, rendering data, building a CI server, automating deployments, best practices for integrators.
    • Webhooks: can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server.
    • Adding automation to the software development cycle frees your developers up for coding = shipping faster and more accurately = increased revenue.
  • What revenue results GitHub could expect
    • This is where we can bring so much more value to really become trusted advisors and advocates for the customer. We can then have more candid, strategic conversations with the customer discussing further integrating their tools with GHE and expanding across the organization
    • More automation and customization of the software development cycle revolving around GitHub at the center = staying power, higher chances of renewal.
