Our guiding principles
Shared values are foundational to culture. They empower us, as both individuals and teams, to have an impact and achieve our mission, because we’re aligned on what’s really important to us. We’ve established these guiding principles to drive independent thinking, thoughtful decision-making, and result-oriented action that stays true to our mission.
Long-term greedy:
Grafanistas think long-term, prioritizing enduring value over short-term gains, and act today with tomorrow in mind. We will not sacrifice long-term success for immediate upside.
Souls intact:
Grafanistas operate with integrity. We think about what it will take to appreciate and respect each other decades from now, and actively work to build that trust every single day.
Do (and say) the hard things:
Grafanistas are courageous. We address difficult issues directly and kindly, make tough decisions, have uncomfortable conversations, and drive necessary change, understanding the cost of avoidance.
Ship constantly:
Grafanistas iterate rapidly. We release early and often to learn and adapt. We value feedback, embrace experimentation, and understand our success comes through continuous refinement.
We are all in customer success:
Our success is defined solely by the success of our customers. Grafanistas dismantle traditional organizational barriers to solve customer problems. Every role is customer-impacting because every decision impacts the value we deliver.
Seek diverse perspectives:
Grafanistas make stronger decisions by seeking out diverse perspectives. We recognize building Grafana Labs is our collective responsibility and work across boundaries to achieve it. We break down silos and optimize for overall success, not just one team.
Roll your sleeves up:
Grafanistas dive deep. We stay connected to the details and are unafraid to get our hands dirty. We understand our domains thoroughly to ensure high standards are achieved.
Help each other thrive:
We lift each other up and act with integrity. We actively support colleagues, share knowledge, and foster an environment where everyone can succeed. We uphold our values, especially under pressure, acting with intelligence and heart.
Default to transparency:
Grafanistas operate openly. We share information and context by default using public forums. When confidentiality is necessary, we explain why. Transparency builds trust and enables better outcomes.
Make the work matter:
Grafanistas focus on impact. We prioritize work that solves real problems and delivers meaningful results. We understand the "why" behind our effort and avoid activity for activity's sake.
And because every story has a villain, meet our mortal enemies:
Bureaucracy, unproductive resistance, stagnation, finger pointing, mediocrity, busywork, assholes, and staying on the sidelines.
