Kurt Andersen; Leo Vasiliou, Catchpoint
Join us to hear the "author's intent" for why they wrote—and why they suggest you read—the latest The SRE Report (https://bit.ly/2023-sre-report) In this session, we'll hear about the logic, emotion, and controversy during survey writing and results interpretation. In Summer 2022, an industry survey was run with almost 600 responses; the initial report on the findings was released in November 2022. Based on the self-identified organizational level by the respondents (e.g., Individual Contributor through Executive), we found quite a few of the inquiry topics had differing perspectives in their answer set. We will highlight these differences and provide some suggestions for bridging the perception gaps through the use of real-world situations. We will take a naked look at some of the most surprising data and explore some of the open-ended questions where survey respondents could type in anything they wanted (and they did!).
