What to do when your developers are too scared to deploy their own code
What do you do when you find yourself in a team that doesn't trust their own code? How do you address development and deployment fear?
Join me as I walk you through how me and my team had to change our ways of work, face some hard truths and tweak our development methodology to go from extremely inefficient deployments (3 teams, 8 senior engineers and dozens of hours burning the midnight oil) to a reliable, predictable and trustworthy development team.
If you find yourself in a similar situation, this talk will provide you with the tools for identifying the cause of the team's fear, prioritizing and addressing the most crucial issues, and bringing a team back from the brink.
How we successfully run a fully-remote, autonomous team
We are a small, multi-disciplinary team of software devs, a QA engineer and a business analyst currently working on a project together with teams spanning multiple companies and time zones - 100% remote, without a manager, and with great success!
I will showcase how we do it, the challenges we faced, lessons we learnt, and how you can implement our working methodology in your own company.
