A perennial challenge for engineering leaders is how to build and lead high-performing teams.
Velocity is a huge part of achieving this, but velocity itself can be difficult to understand and navigate as many factors in engineering affect it. This series looks at a variety of these factors and provides guidance on how to harness the information they can provide to accelerate engineering teams.
Episode 1: Recognizing and removing project bottlenecks
This conversation centered around looking at engineering velocity holistically and how to navigate bottlenecks from all angles, with our panelists – Victor Vu (Senior Software Engineer at Credit Karma), Sara Hicks (VP of Product Management at Mailchimp), Said Ketchman (Director of Engineering at The New York Times), and TJ McNichols (Director of EMEA Sales at Pluralsight) – and moderator – Smruti Patel (Head of LEAP Engineering and Big Data Platform at Stripe) – discussing their own experiences of doing so.
