Unleashing the Influence and Impact of Practice-Based Teams

  • Product-led organisations embed practice-based teams throughout the entire software development process. These teams, such as Quality, Security, DevOps, and Operations, are no longer a checkbox at the end of the line.

    Yet, these practice-based teams often need help scaling with the ever-evolving needs of feature-based teams. Applying feature team methodologies to these teams seldom achieves the expected result. The nature of work, team structures, and delivery cadence often impede sustainable change. And adding more team members yields diminishing returns.

    These problems are hardly unique, but the solutions need to be tailored to the nuance of these teams. This talk explores methods for scaling these teams effectively in a product-led organisation.
