API Evangelist services are organized into three areas of work — discovery, governance, and evangelism. Each area is made up of focused, repeatable engagements that you can mix and match to define what your business needs, operate it in consistent ways, and tell the story of the work as it happens.

Discovery

Map the words, interfaces, and standards that define what your business operations actually need — establishing the shared language and building blocks before anything gets built.

Vocabulary

Develop the words that define what is needed (i.e. KitchenOps, Monitoring, Financial, Invoicing, Grants, etc.).

Interfaces

Map the landscape of existing commercial or open-source interfaces available, and develop new ones when needed.

Standards

Identify and develop the standards required to ensure the interoperability of any aspect of business operations.

Governance

Define and iterate upon the strategies, experiences, policies, rules, pipelines, and skills that make your business operations consistent, compliant, and repeatable.

Strategies

Define and iterate upon the business strategies that are guiding how technology is used by business operations.

Experiences

Help identify, focus on, and refine the experiences that exist at the intersection of people and interfaces.

Policies

Define and iterate upon the business policies that shape and drive your business operations in repeatable ways.

Rules

Define and iterate upon the machine-readable rules that govern the manual and automated aspects of your operations.

Pipelines

Skills

Define and iterate upon the skills you need to operate your business using human and programmatic resources.

Reviews

Evangelism

Craft and publish the stories, conversations, talks, research, papers, and workshops that tell the story of your work at the intersection of people and interfaces.

Let's work together

These services are designed to be mixed and matched across discovery, governance, and evangelism — defining what your business needs, operating it in repeatable ways, and telling the story of the work as it happens. If any of this maps to something you're working on, I would love to talk.
