Building great developer experiences: culture & tools

Happier developer teams almost always mean more effective teams that deliver more value to customers. Hear from Atlassian’s Head of Engineering, Daniel Tao and developer evangelist, Sven Peters, on how to build a great developer experience through culture and an integrated approach to your developer tools.

Software development has become more complex over the years: Building and running a distributed architecture in the cloud, ensuring observability, and keeping a healthy balance between dev speed and code quality isn’t easy. They say just be agile and practice DevOps to increase developer productivity but does that really solve the problem? Unlocking the full potential of your developer team depends on establishing the right combination of culture, rituals, and tools. That’s what this webinar is about! During this webinar we will discuss:

  • How to build a healthy and joyful engineering culture
  • How great software teams, measure and improve their developer experience
  • Approaches to coordinating work across teams and reducing wait times
  • Tips on integrating and configuring your tools to create the best possible experience

We’ll also have live Q&A
