SRE Stakeholders: A Spotter’s Guide
summary
Conference attendance data shows 550 people from ~200 companies with the most common company sending one attendee, and activist investors and churn making sponsorship fragile. Builds recommended: a stakeholder map, an explicit team charter (public, signed, and used to refuse work), shared goals and roles, and simple governance like RACI and an assumed SLO to avoid hidden expectations. Maintain periodic check‑ins, a 60‑second pitch for new consumers, and keep the team aligned to the charter.
