Beyond McKinsey Metrics: Shape Up for True Engineering Impact

McKinsey recently released "Yes, You Can Measure Software Developer Productivity," an article that ignited a significant debate within the engineering community. Nonetheless, its central theme — the need to understand the impact of engineering teams — resonates, especially considering the economic challenges numerous tech firms are dealing with today.

In this talk, join us on the journey how this debate surfaced within Mister Spex's tech department even before McKinsey's piece saw the light of day. Learn how the company sailed these turbulent waters. This story transitions into an exploration of Basecamp's Shape Up model. As McKinsey urges a reevaluation of our tech expenditure, "Shape Up" proposes a method to realize meaningful results, connecting product and engineering management.

Let's utilize this talk as a bridge into the later evening, fostering discussions on optimizing the impact of your engineering teams.
