Leading the Digital Signage industry for SMBs, Yodeck has been continuously growing and evolving for the past 10+ years. Going from a single-team start-up to a multi-team scale-up has been an exciting journey.
In this presentation, I will share with you how we scaled our engineering teams, and how we organized product & engineering operations, in order to maintain the delivery efficiency of a start-up at larger scale, while remaining committed to the quality standards of our product.
We’ll also look at lessons learned during this journey, around agile team processes and bottlenecks we have tackled so far. Moreover, I will go through the evolution of our release cycle, how we currently achieve alignment across multiple teams, and how we measure efficiency (we will discuss about team metrics and how we use them to our benefit).
If you are experiencing growth in your organization, or you're involved in product and engineering operations, this presentation will be relevant to your professional environment. Also, if you are an agile enthusiast, it will be useful for you to gain insights into how we have applied the essence of agility in our work.
