Moving beyond velocity: Measuring real business impact
In this episode of Leaders of Code, Dan Lines, cofounder and COO of LinearB; Ben Matthews, Senior Director of Engineering at Stack Overflow; and host Ben Popper talk about why velocity should be a diagnostic tool, not the primary goal of engineering teams. They also touch on the need for cross-disciplinary collaboration to align engineering with business objectives. They also discuss: AI's potential to automate repetitive tasks, allowing engineers to focus on more complex work. The challenges of scaling organizations and the importance of centralized developer experience teams to improve productivity. How non-technical staff can contribute to engineering tasks through the democratization of technology, enabling more innovation. Episode notes: Connect with Dan Lines on LinkedIn.
