Reflections on the craft and science of managing software projects
While companies rightly spend a lot of time thinking about their business goals and technology choices, they often ignore how best to combine them effectively into a successful software delivery operation. We can all recount being in a software project that failed despite having good ideas and technology choices behind it, leaving everyone miserable in its aftermath: “Is it the team’s fault?.. But didn’t we hire the best? What could have gone wrong?” Join us in this series as we explore such questions and more...

Can you measure how efficient and productive your engineers are? Or is it a fraught notion? Can you go beyond gut instincts when it comes to measuring how well your team is doing? Are there new metrics and analytics tools that can help you in this regard? What are DORA Metrics? What are SPACE metrics?
Join us for this talk as Sudheer Bandaru, the CEO of Hivel.ai walks us through the pitfalls of measuring engineering productivity, and some new approaches that are more promising. With some actual, concrete war stories!
About the speaker
Sudheer is the CEO of Hivel.ai and is striving to create an integrated platform that engineering leaders can use to make data-driven decisions.
As an engineering leader he struggled to tie in his engineering org’s value proposition to business outcomes. He was flummoxed to see tech leaders relying on their gut to take decisions around hiring, work allocation, project pipelining, and feature releases. Micromanagement and asking for constant updates were not his style. So currently he is on a mission to make engineering organizations data-driven and objective in their decision-making.
