ABOUT PEDAC
Whether approaching your next story on the sprint board or sitting under an interviewer's gaze during a coding challenge - it’s easy to misinterpret requirements, overlook simple solutions, or feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem.
The PEDAC problem-solving approach gives you a tool to work through the challenge in front of you. We’ll explain the why and how behind PEDAC and work through examples both together and individually so you can walk away with a working knowledge of this tool. Particularly useful for early-career developers looking for a leg up in coding interviews, but practicing this mindset is useful for day-to-day development as well.
