Engineering and Product Collaboration

Have you ever wondered how to make your team more effective, efficient and fun? Look no further. Let’s ship!

Learn how software companies create world-leading products through collaboration, and then take those techniques away and apply them to your own work and team.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

• We’ll learn how collaboration between product and engineering creates amazing software. How exactly are teams structured in order to create the software that we use today? We’ll see how there is no lone genius doing all of the work. Instead, it’s collaboration between a multitude of people. We’ll be focussing specifically on product management and software engineering.

• We’ll discover how cross-functional teams are composed, and what everyone’s roles and responsibilities are.We’ll look inside and outside of the team and see who does what and when. We’ll also see how a natural tension between everyone on the team can lead to better results.

• We’ll look at the process of planning, prioritising, building, shipping and iterating.At each of these stages, we’ll learn the key things to do in order to make sure your team is staying lean and focussing on what matters.

• Next, we’ll dig deep into common software engineering frustrations.Technical debt, proposing technical projects, and feature factories: we’ve got them covered! We’ll think about solutions for tackling each of these.

• Then, we’ll explore common product management frustrations.Why are the developers so slow? Why are big bang launches a bad idea? We’ll explore deeper.

• We’ll explore routines for healthy and productive teams.This covers everything from stand-ups to milestone planning to retrospectives. We’ll provide you the toolkit to sharpen up your team.

If you’re a complete beginner, or haven’t got your first job in industry yet, then that’s no problem. Learning about the ways in which we think about planning, prioritising and building software will help you out in your studies and make sure you’re on the front foot for the future.
