Presentation #2: The Case for Craftsmanship

Have you ever had to justify a modern development practice to a manager or team lead, only to get dismissed because you lack the right argument?

I've had the following conversations far too often:

Timid Developer: “I’d like to do unit tests on my project, but my boss said we don't have enough time.”

Beleaguered Developer: “I’d like to adopt modern development practices at my organization, but we’re not a software company, so we can’t adopt the latest practices.”

Obstinate Developer: “Why should we adopt ? Why can’t we just do it the old way?”

Fortunately, the science is in, and it supports modern practices. We no longer need to rely on anecdotes and guesswork to make the case for craftsmanship.

In this talk, you'll learn how to make a case for modern development practices. You'll learn which development practices produce measurable improvements in business effectiveness. Then you'll learn how to communicate those benefits to others. After you leave this talk, you'll have the tools to connect modern practices to business outcomes and convince your boss to modernize.
