Developer experience:

Competitive advantage through engineering effectiveness

Hybrid event from February 16 2023

 

In the current environment, organizations are often faced with the challenge of balancing a high demand and cost for engineering talent, with the need to deliver more customer value, quickly and often with less investment. As a result, we are now seeing a strong interest in developer experience – the key reason for this is that improvements in developer experience lead to a more engaged and effective engineering organization, which in turn contribute to creating more responsive and overall successful businesses.

 

As a consultant and Head of Technology, keynote speaker Erik Dörnenburg has worked with several organizations to build internal platforms to improve developer experience. By enabling teams to build products more effectively, these platforms increase responsiveness, and drive a clear competitive advantage.

 

In this talk, Erik shares his observations on when it makes sense to invest in this type of platforms, and how to build and evolve them. He also delves into underlying technologies, principles, and practices.
