Let's Make the PAIN Visible!
Tuesday, 10:30 AM PDT - SALON A
We've got some seriously big problems in our industry. Under constant business pressure, our organization's drive one project after another into the ground. Once the chaos and fire-fighting finally gets out of control, we rewrite our software… again. How long are we going to wait for somebody else to solve this problem?!
It's about time we took responsibility. OpenDX is a strategy to kick this problem's ass. How? By measuring the pain, and putting the ridiculous costs and risks on center stage for everyone to see, then working together to figure it out.
In this talk, we'll get into the weeds of #OpenDX, a specification for data collection in software development for universally measuring the “pain” or “friction” in developer experience.
- What type of tools do we use?
- What type of analysis can we do?
- What type of patterns can we see?
Visibility changes everything. Once we can measure the pain, explain the costs and risks, and get managers and developers all pulling the same direction, suddenly we can start optimizing our organization's with a data-driven feedback loop.
OpenDX is about making healthy software projects the new norm in our industry. Status quo – You better watch out.
