How to Increase the Speed, Predictability, and Quality of Your Software Development Teams

You may be looking at your ways of working and trying to figure out how you can keep up with ever-changing technical demands while maintaining team morale. It feels like an impossible balance, but we’re here to tell you that it is not as impossible as it feels today.

In this video, we walk through a practical and detailed approach to increasing team productivity, throughput, and quality by upskilling your team members without slowing down your delivery. We will share our tested “Velocity Multiplier” approach and teach you how to effectively spread knowledge across teams, increasing your flexibility, reducing risk, and ultimately hardening all of your teams into ones that can predictably deliver sprint after sprint despite organizational churn.
