- -"Effective Partnerships Between Developers and Product Teams" by Kiran Patel
Join us for a session where we explore how to build stronger, more effective partnerships between developers and product teams. We'll dive into the critical role of transparency and open communication in making better decisions and shipping great products. Drawing on real-world experiences, this talk will challenge the idea that these are management problems and show how every single team member has a part to play in fostering a culture of psychological safety where we can all challenge ideas, learn from mistakes, and thrive together.
