The hardest parts of technology are people and what they do - so, culture and process. In the center of that is how to determine the right amount of oversight when implementing technology or the processes around that technology. That “right amount of oversight” is typically referred to as “governance.”
In this talk, Josh and Laine will explain that there is no one right answer for the right amount of oversight, but there are some best practices to keep in mind. There are also some ways to make it easier to think and talk about governance as a whole, and to deliberately apply it. They'll also go over what the wrong amounts of governance look like and give some tips about how to try to correct it when you see it.
Laine has been a developer, a technical lead, a stay at home mom, and an IT architect – and that last was a broad enough title that it let her do both technical things AND cultural things.
She realized then that that was her most favorite place to be, in that in-between place of technology and culture.
She also learned that enabling people and organizations is HARD work, and that explaining that in-between place can help.
