Videos: February TechLeads Mitap at Badoo

In February, we held our second meeting for leaders, department heads, SRT and those who are not indifferent. For everyone who could not come and see the performances live, publish the video (and, of course, slides). The theme of the whole meeting: how to create and maintain dynamic development in the context of constant growth of the team and changes in the company .

Max Lapshin, Erlyvideo

Max talked about how to build development in his own company, while avoiding stress. And further:

• how to plan the development of software, which is then sold in 100 countries of the world;
• How not to arrange a daily stress? The specificity of product development, which is very far from the end users and is not fundamentally tested in-house in full;
• how to simplify work to move forward while keeping stress levels low.

Evgeny Potapov, ITSumma

In great detail and with dozens of examples he shared his experience of building a strong and almost 100% team consisting of techies. Which, it should be noted, works 24/7. From the speech you will learn how to search for the right people, how to motivate and try to build planning in the conditions of chaos and constant change of priorities.

And, most importantly, why the team needs a person with the position of "director of common sense."

Alexey Rybak, Badoo

Our own speaker, Alexey “Fisher” Rybak, shared his secret knowledge: how we built the Performance Review process at Badoo, what rakes we attacked, how we healed our wounds, what conclusions we made, how it works now.

If you are thinking about trying a Performance Review, be sure to watch the performance.

Ilya Pyatin, CarPrice

Ilya told about how to build a development in a company that is constantly growing: how to prioritize, how to learn from your mistakes, how to conduct experiments, before introducing big ideas. And further:

• how to quickly recruit programmers to the team, so that later they do not fall off;
• management - from a couple of developers to a large department.

Andrey Shelokhin, Tinkoff.ru

Andrei analyzed in detail the approaches and practices, recommendations on the work of technical teams. As an example, Andrew suggested the experience of his own team in Tinkoff.ru and told:

• What do development managers forget?
• Can processes solve problems in development without interfering with business?
• How to break the rules described in the books about Scrum, and not blame yourself for it?

In our group on Facebook there is a photo report from the mitap . And here - a playlist from all speeches.
