Delivering new software features faster, while making sure that services are solid and secure is a key differentiator for every organization today. Continuous delivery is critical to how teams deliver value. Being able to release small software changes, multiple times a day is a crucial competency for organizations in the modern world. In this context, how do those organizations today think about developer productivity at scale? How important is developer experience of our software delivery systems and how should we approach it? This panel discussion discusses industry approaches to developer experience and productivity with a view to helping organizations figure out how to be more effective. The discussion will look to balance cutting edge work and innovation in this space with the realities of the end user companies who face challenges in evolving their organizations.
