How you'll work.

In sprints - two weeks each. A sprint is a set of tasks with clear acceptance criteria: you build each one and ship it as a submission.

build → submit → get reviewed → next task

Your work gets read. A mentor from Relativity reviews what you ship - and so do cohort-mates walking the same sprint.

Live sessions run on the cohort's calendar. Real time with the crew.

You're never solo. Your cohort has a shared room, and a help room for when you're stuck. Sprints unlock on the cohort's shared beat - the pace inside each one is yours.

Clean split between the service and the controller. One naming nit - see my note, then ship it.

skills you gain

Technical Troubleshooting & Root Cause Analysis Customer Communication & Empathy Structured Problem Investigation Incident Prioritization & Escalation Judgment Tooling & Workflow Proficiency Documentation & Knowledge Sharing (KCS) Professional Decision-Making Under Pressure
  • Develop a structured approach to troubleshooting by learning how to clarify customer issues, form hypotheses, and identify root causes using evidence rather than guesswork.

  • Communicate with confidence in customer-facing situations, practicing how to explain technical topics clearly, manage expectations, and respond professionally under time pressure.

  • Navigate complex and incomplete information by learning how to prioritize signals, handle uncertainty, and move investigations forward even when the full picture isn’t immediately clear.

  • Use real-world tools and workflows to investigate issues, document findings, and collaborate effectively across teams, building habits that scale in fast-paced environments.

  • Apply sound judgment when prioritizing incidents and deciding when to escalate, balancing customer impact, urgency, and long-term outcomes.

  • Build a strong foundation for growth into advanced Success roles by understanding how effective support, documentation, and collaboration contribute to customer trust and long-term success.
