We often consider business and developers as separate teams. The “Business” part needs something, while “Developers” implement it. This clearly defines the Customer-Supplier relationship at best and Conformist at worst. In these relationships Business acts as Upstream, while Developers as Downstream. Doesn’t sound like the best option when developing custom solutions, does it? I’m going to show you how to upgrade this relationship into Partnership.

During this presentation I’ll show you how you can make your first step into becoming a Technical Business Partner. Technical Business Partner is a business-oriented engineer with deep technological expertise. Instead of just implementing stuff correctly, TBP understands the business and therefore is able to suggest improvements in the business model or any other aspects of running the company. This approach allows us to build better models, increase velocity of the development and focus on what’s really important instead of wasting time and energy on technological bikeshedding.
