Q&A session with Best Practical engineers

We also cover the basics of RT for Incident Response, in the afternoon of the second day.

Includes our RT workshop day!

This third day will allow us to go much deeper into some aspects of RT’s internals and spend more time on questions specific to your RT instance. This is our plan for day three:

  • BPS engineers will walk through the process of creating a new RT extension, showing every step live. Participants are encouraged to bring their ideas for new extensions so they can follow along and create their own.
  • BPS engineers will be available to work with participants on questions related to their RT instances. Questions can include rights and administration via the web interface, configuration questions, scrips and template coding and setup, and custom code.

While we will have some prepared material, the majority of the day is a hands-on workshop with participants actively working on their own RT projects. If you have specific ideas or RT customizations you would like to work on, join us for this full day workshop directly following the training and let BPS help you resolve your internal RT to-do list.

Each class includes training materials, a continental breakfast, and snacks (lunch is not provided.)
