Spring Summit - 2022

ELC Annual 2022

We explored the complexities of scaling high-performance engineering organizations, diving deep into creating autonomous, trust-driven teams that can adapt and excel. 

Roundtable: Scaling High-Performance Engineering Organizations

During the discussion, we talked about shifting from annual performance reviews to a more continuous, leadership-driven approach, with a focus on daily team support. Besides, we also included challenges in rolling out performance management systems, especially given financial constraints and different leadership styles. 

Leadership Roundtable: Performance Management

During this session, eng leaders explored diverse evaluation methods, stressing transparent criteria, unbiased assessments, and managing biases. We gained some insights of continuous performance monitoring, clear communication on promotion expectations, and recognizing contributions beyond promotions with awards for impactful work. 

Leadership Roundtable: Promotions

During this session, we discussed automating delivery pipelines, managing technical debt, driving change with new technologies, demonstrating engineering’s business value, and developing future leaders who prioritize operational excellence.

Leadership Roundtable: Software Engineering Operations

We explored practical AI tool adoption strategies, addressed team upskilling challenges, and examined how engineering managers' roles are evolving in response. Key takeaways included the critical importance of continuous learning frameworks, heightened value of emotional intelligence in leadership, and maintaining a problem-solving mindset while navigating technological disruption.

Roundtable: The Future of Engineering Leadership in the Age of AI

Have you ever tried to hammer a nail with a pair of pliers? While you may succeed eventually, the process is inefficient and frustrating because you’re using the wrong tool. The same holds true for developers who try to work with application performance management (APM) solutions to monitor mobile and web applications. Because these solutions are designed for DevOps and infrastructure teams to monitor backend systems and performance, they don’t provide the insights developers need into release stability, errors, and how these are impacting the customer experience.

Then there are application stability management (ASM) solutions, which are built specifically for engineering organizations. ASM provides actionable insights into how stable the application is, where bugs exist, and how to improve the end user experience. Join James Smith, CEO of Bugsnag, as he explains the differences between the two solutions and outlines the benefits organizations can achieve when APM and ASM are provided to the right teams.

In this preview of our upcoming Engineering Leadership Academy, engineering leaders from Jellyfish will walk us through how they equip their managers with the knowledge to select, implement, and analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) and metrics. What is the “Engineering Leadership Academy?” ELC and Jellyfish have partnered with top engineering practitioners to share their best practices, skills, and leadership principles with those who aspire to build and lead world-class engineering teams in a more formalized, structured way. This course aims to develop the next wave of top-tier engineering leaders through a robust catalog of content taught by those with a wealth of technical knowledge and experience. This session is a special preview of future curriculum for the program.
