building impactful teams w/director of engineering, chris holland
guest: chris holland, director of engineering
- ask better questions and truly listen to your team before assuming you know their challenges
- adding scrum or agile ceremonies wont fix delivery problems if the root engineering practices are broken
- focus on patterns, clean code, and test driven development to reduce technical debt and move faster long term
- test driven development can speed up delivery by cutting out manual steps used to verify code works
- moving into leadership means your success depends on your team's success, not just your own technical skill
