Synopsis

Do you build tools for other engineers inside your company, rather than an external client?

There’s a lot of books out there on engineering and product with a focus on making a success in the open market, but not enough for building internally - to improve the productivity of all the other engineers in your organisation.

Let’s change that. I’ll show you how building tools for internally meaningfully differs, what tools and toys you might want to build to make your life easier, and how to look for the signs that you might need to take your engineering productivity team to the next level.

Whether that's building project generators, standardizing CI/CD pipelines, improving your documentation, or creating handy CLIs, there are dozens of ways you can help your organisation's engineers deliver faster, better, and more consistently. Let me show you how.

After this session:

• you’ll know how external and internal engineering environments differ, and how to succeed in the latter.
• you’ll learn how to find changes of approach as the number of internal users increases from hundreds to thousands.
• you’ll understand tools and techniques to balance the buy vs build scale as well as can be.
