EXPOA205 Building an Engineering Partnership to Supercharge Dev Teams

2:25 PM - 2:55 PM PT
Thursday, October 26

Tracks: Management & Strategy

Series: Live from DevLearn

As technology rapidly evolves, software engineers have to stay on top of the latest technologies and deliver products to market faster than ever before. Without an effective developer-focused L&D program, even the most experienced teams WILL fall behind, slowing down your entire organization.

Building a successful developer learning program allows you to deliver continuous business value. However, traditional learning solutions present a few challenges:

  • Synchronous training shuts down the engineering team and causes delays.
  • Massive online open courses aren’t easily tailored to team or learner needs.

Engineering teams need custom learning that integrates into their daily workflow, requires minimal lift from managers, and scales as the org grows. The problem is engineering teams have limited bandwidth to collaborate—and you need their buy-in to create a program they’ll actually use.

Fortunately, you don’t need to tackle everything at once. This session will walk you through the first step: partnering with engineering to build an effective onboarding plan. You’ll establish a strong partnership between L&D and engineering, demonstrate the business value of your work, and lay the foundation for a robust developer learning program.

In this session, you will learn:

  • How to build a strong working relationship with engineering
  • How to create an onboarding plan that reduces developer ramp-up time
  • How to measure and communicate the impact of your onboarding plan
  • How to expand your onboarding plan into a robust (and scalable) developer learning program
