Aligning Developer Experience Initiatives to Business Outcomes

This week, we’re diving into best practices for structuring your eng teams, how to tie your initiatives to programs that drive business growth, and streamlining your tech stack!

Elliot Graebert, an Advisor at Coder, shares his insights and experiences in building teams at Palantir and the need to always tie your programs back to the needs of the business. Oftentimes we can get caught up in the excitement of a project, but miss the larger picture in the long run. He also touches on the best way to handle high and low performers, his strategy around developing new services and killing old ones, and the struggles of trying to build an internal developer portal. If you’re leading technical teams (or want to in the future), this episode is full of useful nuggets.

Join as we discuss:

• Being early on the adoption curve to new technology and companies
• Setting team structures and aligning goals to business drivers
• Driving developer experience and balancing the needs of the entire team
• The balance of building internal tooling or finding an existing solution (aka OpsLevel)
