Stacie Bacon is a Team Leader in Technology at Rocket Mortgage, the nation's largest mortgage lender, which is based in Detroit, Michigan. She spent the first part of her 18+ year career writing software for various industries, including telephony and internet communications. While facilitating courses at a local college, Stacie realized her love for mentoring and educating others outweighed the joy she received resolving git merges or converting legacy systems into microservices as a developer. Thus, she reinvented herself as a technology leader. Today, she speaks around the country sharing her personal journey from programmer to servant leader and inspiring others to reinvent themselves. In a past life, Stacie wrote, directed, and helped produce a TV show pilot and hopes one day to make it to the big screen. You can follow her on Twitter @StacieBacon.

I will go over some expectations vs reality, attempt to debunk some myths, and offer practical suggestions on preparation.

Git Effective: Managing Software Using GitHub
Keeping track of tasks, enhancements, and bugs are a part of daily life when it comes to managing software. Sometimes the tools get in the way more than they help. GitHub is considered by far one of the most recognizable standards for development in the tech industry.

In addition, we’ll discuss project planning and tracking, collaborative coding, issue/error tracking, and version control.
