Everyone wants a top notch software engineering organization, but how do you make that happen? During my time as a software consultant, I've worked with dozens of companies ranging from Fortune 100 companies down to startups, and the same themes keep coming up over and over again. As part of my day job, I also help lead over 130 software engineers at my company.

I've boiled my experiences down to a series of questions to ask your organization in order to create a great engineering organization. Don't worry, I won't just leave you with the questions, I'll also tell you why those questions matter, and how I would answer every single one of them.

If you feel like your engineering organization could be performing better, and you're looking for new ideas, this talk is for you.
