Level up! Empowering industry R users with different levels of experience
summary
Team of seven at Picnic Health codifies common routines into internal R packages (age calculation, visit spans, DB and auth helpers) and hosts them on Posit Package Manager tied to private GitHub so packages rebuild on commits; dashboards and scheduled reports run on Posit Connect for reproducible sharing; knowledge lives in a Gitbook wiki and optional twice‑weekly office hours and pair programming sessions surface fixes and demos. Start small, iterate, and use packages to remove boilerplate and increase interoperability.
