Improving your Team(work)
Wednesday September 18, 2024 12:30 - 13:30 MDT
Spruce 3/4
As C++ developers, we will have the opportunity to work on many different teams and many different projects throughout our careers. We may sometimes work on a team that’s enjoyable, but isn't delivering too much. Other times, we might work on a team that delivers, but is no fun. If we’re really unlucky, we can end up on a team that doesn’t deliver and isn’t enjoyable. But occasionally, we can have the privilege of being part of a team that not only delivers, but is also a great team to be on.

The ability of us, as individual contributors within a team, to work together effectively is critically important. Often more so in C++ than in many other languages, due to the scale and complexity of the solutions we are often trying to deliver. This ability of individual contributors to work together collaboratively as a team is often not related to their C++ skills and knowledge.

This talk will explore the different characteristics of software development teams, and will look at the different roles and responsibilities within a team. Taking an evidence-based approach, we’ll consider what makes a good team, explore how to encourage more cooperative teamwork in order to achieve better results for everyone on the team, as well as offer some ideas for how to gently improve the teams on which we are currently working.
