the human element in development: what your tools say about your culture
DESCRIPTION
Presented as the closing keynote at GOTO Berlin 2014. Video forthcoming from the conference organizers. Thanks to Agile, the DevOps movement and other new methodologies in software engineering, our industry now has a greater focus on how our human interactions impact our technical creation processes. However, it’s pretty easy to understand how our tools work (Your Mileage May Vary), but understanding our colleagues motivations or how our corporate culture impacts those motivations is much trickier. In this talk, Leslie Hawthorn will reverse engineer collaboration anti-patterns from stories of how specific organizations use their development tools. Attendees will leave amused, inspired and with some great ideas of how to best use tools to facilitate optimal human functioning.TRANSCRIPT
