Title : Thrive with Technical Excellence


Abstract :
Technical excellence is much more than just writing good code. Whether you are a manager, product owner, scrum master or an engineer, you need to know why and how the technology implementation is done at a high level. Be it test-driven development, refactoring, CICD, clean code and automated testing or any of the technical areas, one needs to understand the HOW aspect and see the difference it makes in the product.


One important aspect that comes to the picture is – what is being technical? It means different things to different roles. In simple words, Technical excellence is about “uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it.”


The ultimate form of technical excellence that Martin Fowler (Thought works) describes is shortened delivery and feedback cycles. The achievement of this relies on the culmination of the business side of the organization valuing tech and the software development side understanding the needs of the business. This means technical excellence involves a cultural shift at the organizational level. The idea is to encourage organizations to adopt, adapt and refine. My talk shall focus on why different roles in an organisation should thrive for technical excellence.


Having technical excellence in any organisation has never been as crucial as it is today, wherein we need to create a technology strategy that allows one to not only deal with, but take advantage of the increasingly rapid pace of change wherein the focus areas are simplification and modernization. How do we ensure we attract and keep the right talent that can create and execute sophisticated strategies, in the face of extreme competition? These are few of the areas that I want to focus upon in this talk.
