Do your development teams seem to move at a snail’s pace? Do your attempts at speeding them up via process changes seem to fail?

Often, the focus of improving teams is from a process standpoint, but some of the biggest impediments to delivering value quickly are architectural and technical constraints. These constraints are often overlooked, but can provide an immediate positive impact if addressed.

In this session, Jon and Blair will discuss the architectural and technical changes they have made in their careers from something as simple as automated deployments to evolving to a microservices architecture. They will talk about how these technical changes increased flexibility, throughput, quality, and engineering happiness.

After the session, attendees will have a list of technical items that are potentially slowing down velocity and ability to deliver value quickly. Additionally, attendees will have real world examples of how the problem areas could potentially be resolved.
