Companies must get to the top of their industry and remain there to survive. Can they do it without great software development?

This workshop will focus on neuroscience and leadership -- and SCARF^Ⓡ (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness and Fairness)*. These five domains give us insights into the dynamics teams may experience and the direction you can take to support your teams.

*  David Rock from NeuroLeadership Institute created the SCARF model.

The software industry is growing like no other, there are growing requirements, and evolving paradigm shifts. This brings real challenges for managing modern software projects that rely on what is known as ‘cloud native’ architectures. In this talk, we’ll cover the definition of cloud native software architectures which govern the majority of modern software enterprises today, then we’ll dive into the challenges of managing projects for cloud native software.

You have a project, it has a tight schedule, and what you need are resources on it – NOW! The problem, of course, is acquiring the right resources. We’re all trained to look for the job skills we need, but problems quickly arise:

What about interpersonal skills? Do I have the right person?

If so, how I do keep them from choosing to go to another project or leaving the organization entirely?

In this session, we’ll look at perspectives on getting new team members – both existing staff in an organization, and new hires. We’ll then further explore the more important piece – how do we keep them once we have them!
