Abstract:
What does a leader do to change technical culture?
Case study:
  • Technical debt is costing customers and delaying products.
  • You're a leader, not a coder.
  • The debt is systemic. It's bigger than any one team can solve.
  • You can't stop delivery. You can't break the organization.
  • You have 1,000 people, 200 experts, and factions forming around contradictory solutions.
How do you solve this kind of technical culture problem? Come find out.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Understand the role of autonomy in cultural change.
  • Execute the core technique for unlocking technical improvement.
  • Decide when to expect consistency and when to allow variance.
  • Deconstruct accountability and metrics.
  • See how to apply these ideas to other problems.
  • Provide clear direction to your management team about your organization's next steps.
