**Title**
Engineering Leadership Arriving Upon A Struggling Project

**Abstract**
This talk tells a first-hand tale of coming as an engineering leader to an in-flight, org-visible, almost-there-but-not-quite product launch. This story covers relevant events involved from day one through to a boring, uneventful, planned release of said product. This talk covers tactics used as an engineering leader to help organize successful resetting of the path towards general availability of a customer-facing product in a technical organization.

**Bio**
Nick Silkey is a Senior Director of the Growth Engineering group at DigitalOcean. With more than twenty years of experience making computers behave accordingly in exchange for cash money, Nick has served as an engineer and org leader at DigitalOcean, Rackspace, Yale University, and The University of Texas at Austin. Nick is based out of Austin, Texas and loves his family, smoked meats, and helping all people level up as technical leaders. You can find Nick on Hachyderm Mastodon as @[nicksilkey](https://hachyderm.io/@nicksilkey).
