FlowCon France 2024
Speaker: Arnaud Porterie
🇬🇧 Beyond developer productivity: what’s next?
Engineering efficiency has become a burning topic with the ongoing downsizings and cost-cutting trends.
Boards and investors demand visibility into the performance of the teams, while engineering leaders struggle to characterize engineering success.
This symptom reveals another root cause: relying solely on KPIs falls short on capturing the complexity of software engineering. They fail to encapsulate considerations such as juggling between priorities, managing technical debt, or navigating team management challenges.
Engineering success takes a lot more than productivity: no business impact can be achieved without alignment to company goals; no results can be obtained durably without a fulfilling environment for the teams.
In this talk I’ll cover my learnings from my personal experience as a VP Engineering, and from discussion with hundreds of other engineering leaders, about defining and achieving engineering success.
