The ROI of Deliberate Practice
Practice doesn't make perfect! Perfect practice makes perfect.
Professional athletes and musicians focus on practicing to get better so that the quality of their work becomes effortless. Why aren't you and your team practicing to get better?
Applying the concepts of Learned Behaviorism, using the techniques of Deliberate Practice, and simple "tools" like Code Katas can result in a more knowledgeable team that produces higher-quality code at a more rapid pace.
In this talk, I lay out the concepts of Deliberate Practice and Learning-Performance Distinction. You'll learn how to facilitate learning opportunities to ensure the best outcomes, and I'll give you examples of practices that I have done (and continue to do) at companies that teach Deliberate Practice, and the positive outcomes that we achieved. Attendees will get to participate in a simple but effective example of practices they can start with their teams immediately.
