Description
You bring two service overviews (redacted). We co-draft trace budgets, logging policies, and SLO candidates. Evenings include cardinality fire drills: what happens when a label explodes? The sprint ends with a blueprint you can socialize internally without overselling precision.
What is included
- Trace budget worksheets per user journey
- Cardinality guardrails with exemplar bad labels
- SLO candidate drafting with error budget math
- Dashboard decluttering pass with mentors
- Log sampling strategies under load
- Synthetic trace walkthroughs
- Blueprint peer review in final session
Outcomes
- Publish a trace budget table for two journeys
- Define an SLO with explicit error budget policy
- Remove or quarantine two high-cardinality labels

FAQ
Vendor tooling?
Bring your stack description; exercises use abstract signal types first, then map to tools.
SRE-only?
Technical leads and senior developers are welcome; less ideal for purely non-technical roles.
Limitation?
We do not wire integrations into your production accounts.
Experience notes
“Observability Blueprint Sprint gave us a shared doc operations-adjacent stakeholders could read without panic.”
