In today's fast-paced software development landscape, streamlining development workflows is essential for unlocking higher productivity and fostering innovation. In this session, we'll explore practical strategies for transforming your team's work by optimizing developer workstations, establishing golden paths, and enabling self-service environment provisioning. These practices help teams reduce friction, enhance collaboration, and deliver value faster.

In this session, you'll discover:

- How consistent, automated workstation setups using tools like Azure Dev Box and GitHub Codespaces can significantly enhance developer productivity.
- The impact of well-defined golden paths in reducing decision fatigue and boosting project success rates through scaffolding tools, template repositories, and Internal Developers Platforms (IDPs).
- How self-service environment provisioning enables developers to quickly set up reliable testing environments, removing delays with solutions like Azure Deployment Environments and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) pipelines

By the end of this talk, you will be able to:

- Simplify and standardize your development environments.
- Implement structured workflows that ensure efficiency and quality across projects.
- Empower your developers with the flexibility to innovate faster, without bottlenecks.
