- Description
How many times have you been given a new feature to code with no context about the why or the impact? How many times did you get the feeling you’re not talking the same language as the PM, designer or business teams?
Most of the time, engineers focus on building and shipping products, while PMs and designers run discovery and framing of the next feature in parallel.
Our conviction is that early stage collaboration between domain experts, product, design and engineering will help you define unified, resilient and change friendly models. We believe that fast delivery of user and business value is not contradictory with shipping high quality code, using modern development methods.
In this talk we will share some simple actions that you can include in your team routine. They will become powerful tools to help your tech team master the domain your organization evolves in. You will experience a live case study on how to bridge the gap between business and technology, enhance collaboration between product & tech people and ultimately build better models.
