Learn Your Way to AWESOME.

How do we turn our company into an AWESOME company? Our projects get crushed over and over again by bad decisions caused by relentless business pressure, a lack of visibility, and huge communication problems.

Fixing our software problems isn't an engineering problem, it's an organizational problem. It means the people of the business world and the engineering world need to learn how to communicate, learn together, and work together to optimize the whole.

So how do we get from Point A to Point AWESOME? We learn.

Idea Flow Learning Framework is a data-driven improvement framework specifically designed to get managers and developers all pulling the same direction by combining the power of Idea Flow with the power of science. By visualizing our pain, we create a data-driven feedback loop for systematically improving productivity on our software projects.

In this talk we'll cover:

  • A quick summary of how to measure the friction in a developer's “Idea Flow”
  • The scientific method and how we can use science to support data-driven software mastery
  • An overview of Idea Flow Learning Framework from bottom to top (from the weeds of development to the investment level of the company)

Learn how to measure the pain across the organization, run experiments to learn what works, and distill your knowledge into patterns and principles. If you want to start learning and improving faster than ever before, you won't want to miss this talk.
