👋 Welcome to Tami’s Technical Enablement newsletter. Your weekly guide to scaling software engineering and AI talent.
Hey everyone,
In 2025, engineering enablement is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s a strategic function that drives team performance, tool adoption, and time-to-value.
Enablement today looks very different from the old LMS-driven model. Instead of quarterly rollouts and generic content, modern engineering organizations are building a technical enablement stack that provides quick, contextual, and relevant learning at the speed of development.
In this issue of The Technical Enablement Newsletter, we highlight the most impactful tools, including both trusted and emerging options, that companies are using to empower their engineering and AI teams.
Why the Right Stack Matters
Traditional learning management systems (LMS) weren’t built for the pace of modern software development. They’re often generic, slow to update, and disconnected from engineering workflows.
Modern software teams are dealing with:
New technologies like LLMs and AI copilots
Distributed teams across multiple time zones
Shorter release cycles and more frequent context shifts
Enablement leaders are adapting by building a stack that delivers:
Just-in-time learning, not delayed training
Live and interactive sessions, not static content
AI-augmented support and internal documentation
Integrated tools across the engineering workflow
Let’s dive into the most impactful tools across these categories.
Foundational Tools Every Engineering Org Relies On
An AI pair programming assistant for faster, smarter coding. GitHub Copilot is revolutionizing how developers learn and build. Powered by OpenAI, it enables engineers to write code faster, learn new frameworks, and explore APIs in real-time.
Copilot is particularly valuable for junior engineers ramping up on new codebases or senior engineers exploring unfamiliar languages.
High-performing teams use it to:
Reduce boilerplate code
Speed up onboarding for new devs
Prototype internal tools or features quickly
You can Pair GitHub Copilot with lightweight training sessions or prompts to help engineers learn how to prompt the AI more effectively.
Slack for engineering has become the de facto communication hub for engineering teams.
But beyond chats and standups, it plays a critical role in engineering enablement:
Dedicated learning channels (#dev-learning, #ai-labs)
Async AMA sessions with senior engineers or instructors
Workflow integrations with tools like Tami, GitHub, and Confluence
Slack also enables just-in-time support for questions asked and answered in real-time, reducing blockers and encouraging a culture of continuous learning.
Confluence is where long-term knowledge lives to get everyone on the same page. While Confluence isn't a traditional training platform, it’s an essential part of the enablement stack.
Confluence allows teams to:
Create centralized onboarding guides
Maintain up-to-date tech stack documentation
Share best practices, code snippets, and process docs
Used well, Confluence helps reduce knowledge silos and scale engineering culture across time zones.
A private knowledge sharing engine built on the platform developers already trust.
Stack Overflow for Teams is a powerful platform for internal Q&A and continuous learning. It works particularly well when:
Engineers ask repeated questions across teams
Tribal knowledge is scattered in Slack threads
New hires need searchable, context-rich answers
It supports a self-service learning culture, where engineers learn from past questions without interrupting senior team members.
Emerging Tools Leading the Way in 2025
A flexible workspace for onboarding, process, and self-serve learning.
Many fast-moving companies use Notion as a flexible, all-in-one tool for:
Creating visual onboarding hubs
Documenting workflows, playbooks, and decision trees
Embedding videos, Looms, and code snippets
Its ease of use makes it perfect for lightweight training content, especially in startup and growth-stage companies.
Integrated learning within Microsoft Teams and Microsoft 365.
For enterprises already in the Microsoft ecosystem, Viva Learning embeds training directly into Teams, Outlook, and Office. It helps surface:
Internal learning content
External content platforms like Pluralsight, LinkedIn Learning, and Coursera
Manager-assigned training paths
Viva’s integrations make learning visible during live workflows, especially useful for teams balancing meetings, code reviews, and deadlines.
Asynchronous video training and knowledge sharing.
Loom is increasingly used in engineering onboarding and internal training. With Loom, teams can:
Record code walkthroughs and architecture overviews
Create explainer videos for new tools or workflows
Share context-rich updates that scale across time zones
It's a great companion to tools like Confluence, enabling the creation of reusable, human-first learning content.
Just-in-time, live instructor-led training platform for tech teams.
Tami helps engineering enablement leaders provide real-time, customized training. Unlike traditional vendors, Tami offers teams:
Access to top experts across AI, cloud, software architecture, and more
Instructor-led sessions delivered in days, not weeks
Customize learning aligned to team needs and tech stacks
Whether you’re onboarding engineers to GitHub Copilot, learning about prompt engineering, or supporting a cloud migration, Tami provides live expert-led training your team needs without delays to keep projects on track.

Internal Q&A | Stack Overflow for Teams | Self-service answers + retention |
Enterprise LMS | Viva Learning | Training in Teams/365 workflow |
Final Thoughts
Building the right enablement stack isn’t about picking the one best LMS or e-learning platform. It’s about combining complementary platforms that:
Match your team’s pace
Fit your engineering culture
Remove blockers and delays from learning
By thoughtfully building the right engineering enablement tech stack, enablement leaders can dramatically accelerate how their teams onboard, adopt new technologies, and scale their impact.
By the way, we created Tami’s just-in-time training platform to eliminate delays and automate logistics, enabling engineering organizations to deliver instructor-led training more efficiently at scale. Want to learn more? Request a demo.
