The objective of Cluedo is to deduce how, where, and by whom the victim was murdered based on clues gathered from the other players. Colonel Mustard, spanner, Conservatory? Mrs. White, candlestick, Lounge? Ask questions, gather facts, and deduce answers before anyone else to win.

An objective look at your code base finds many problems: lost architectural vision, questionable code structure, security through obscurity, undeleted dead code, inconsistent coding paradigms, copy-pasted code, and more! Instead of considering current state, let's look at the journey. Did a sleep-deprived engineer misunderstand Stack Overflow, did the Product Manger making unreasonable commitments, did a non-technical leader inflict her technical decision? Causes are distributed throughout the org with plenty of blame to share.

Join me for a fun discussion about what triggered a decline of your code quality and what actions you, as the engineer, can take to protect the code and yourself!
