[UPDATE: As of 1 September 2021, the Panda Pros program has concluded. Thank you!] 

As Chief Customer Experience Officer, my focus is on ensuring our customers are successful and having a good experience with our tools and teams. Today, I am excited to announce Panda Pros, a program that is laser-focused on helping you, the rockstar educators in our Instructure Family, as you ramp up for the new school year.

At Khaki 2017, we committed to devoting 100 sprints of engineering capacity to the priorities selected by the group. We’re on track to accomplish that and have already delivered some of the projects. However, now that we’ve had an opportunity to do more detailed analysis, we know some of the projects will require more engineering effort than we originally estimated (based on the limited time and info we had during the 1-day Khaki event) and fall outside the 100 sprint capacity.

In addition to being a fellow textile, ‘“Khaki,” as in “Project Khaki,” is an event in which a diverse group of community members were invited to Instructure headquarters to talk face-to-face with Product and Engineering Teams about allocating 20% of Instructure’s engineering budget to Project Khaki priorities.
