๐ Welcome aboard
How we work together at colpari, as crew and client, and where to find what, all on one page. Read it once, and come back whenever you have a question.
Every mission has a clear outcome that everyone works towards. Every person on the mission does everything within their means to reach that outcome. We support each other.
The crew works together for the client. Crew and client are one team: us.
We always talk to each other in shared channels. That way everyone sees the answers, and everyone involved can respond and learn. Information is accessible to all and contributes to the outcome.

๐ฌ Got a direct message? We reply with a quick pointer to the right channel.
๐ Houston, we have a problem
-
Urgent: write in Daily and add @channel to the message. Everyone in the channel gets notified right away.
-
Emergency or replacement needed: put ?blast in front of the message in Daily. It reaches everyone directly on their devices, even outside their working hours. The crew decides when this is appropriate.
-
A colpari tool isn't working: put ?helpdesk in front of the message, in any channel. It goes straight to the colpari helpdesk.
-
Tools are down or many people are affected: the status page status.colpari.net shows the current status and the emergency number.
-
Data protection or information security incident: report it by email to datenschutz@colpari.cx.
