How w ould you guide today’s engineering leaders to situate themselves in the vast software delivery landscape? Do people apply processes without unders tanding why they work? Ranjan Sakalley will share his perspective on these and more such questions.\n\n**About the speaker**\n[Ranjan Sakalley](http s://www.linkedin.com/in/rnjns) managed engineering for an Indian edTech co mpany called Vedantu. Before that\, he worked for GoJek as CTO and VP of E ngineering.

Yet\, a common mistake fast moving teams can make is to pick pr ojects without enough diligence on the potential impact. When the project is delivered\, they don’t see the expected impact (or worse\, don’t ev en measure it)\, theorise why\, and then move on to the next project.\n\nO ne thing I learned at Facebook was to invest time on understanding the pro blem\, identifying levers\, calculating the potential impact\, and then ag reeing on appropriate data to measure impact and progress. And when projec ts don’t deliver the expected impact\, there is even more effort spent t o understand why\, and potentially iterate (or halt when appropriate).\n\n I’m going to share a few examples and pitfalls\, and maybe talk about cu pcakes too. This is relevant to EMs as well as ICs\, since impact is unive rsally loved 🙂\n\n**About the speaker**\n[Gaurav Lochan](https://www.li nkedin.com/in/gauravlochan) is a Head of Engineering (and US site lead) fo r PhonePe\, where he manages the app platform team.

Does it prevent you from iterating u pon what you have achieved so far? How do you decide when to dig deep and ask for more time and resources in the best interest of a project's succes s? Deepti Agrawal will reflect upon these questions based on her experienc es.\n\n**About the speaker**\n[Deepti Agrawal]() is a Director of Engineer ing at Flipkart.

The talk will reference ideas discussed by people like Donald Reinertsen regarding product development flow: http://reinertsenas sociates.com/videos/\n\nWe will try to run a queuing theory related simula tor live to understand the concepts introduced\, or look at some simulated results!\n\nHarsha is happy to go off script if the audience has interes ting questions or points to raise based on their experience.

Or is it a fraught notion? Can you go beyond gut instincts when it come s to measuring how well your team is doing? Are there new metrics and anal ytics tools that can help you in this regard?

With some actual\, concrete war stories!\n \n**About the speak er**\n[Sudheer](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sbandaru) is the CEO of [Hivel .ai](https://www.hivel.ai/) and is striving to create an integrated platfo rm that engineering leaders can use to make data-driven decisions.\n\nAs a n engineering leader he struggled to tie in his engineering org’s value proposition to business outcomes. He was flummoxed to see tech leaders rel ying on their gut to take decisions around hiring\, work allocation\, proj ect pipelining\, and feature releases. Micromanagement and asking for cons tant updates were not his style. So currently he is on a mission to make e ngineering organizations data-driven and objective in their decision-makin g.
