This is also true for the processes and c ommunication channels you need in place so that everyone remains highly ef fective. What works well for a team of ten engineers falls short once you have thirty. You adapt and then feel some friction again when you get to a hundred. Rinse and repeat. At Intercom\, we’ve iterated and been throug h this process a few times having grown engineering from one team of four engineers sitting together in the same room to 160 engineers in 30 teams a cross three countries and two time-zones. \n\n I’ll share how we’ve b een successful at empowering engineers to drive organizational change. The ir unique perspective being on the ground allows them to identify\, solve and own solutions to the challenges they face. \n\n We’ll go through the journey of how we identified and solved a problem with internal knowledge sharing in Engineering. In doing this we’ll shed some light into the fo llowing questions so that you’re better prepared to take on these sort o f challenges: Why was it important to iterate? What was unique about it th at didn’t apply company-wide? How do you identify when you've outgrown y our current setup? How do you set yourself\, and the org\, up for success? You should be able to take some of the ideas and answers to these and app ly them to existing or future problems your teams might face. \n\n Speaker : Heidi Waterhouse (Senior Developer Advocate\, LaunchDarkly) \n\n Talk: T he Wonderful Thing About Tiggers: Tautology and Business Value \n\n You di dn't get that cool programming job because you're a great programmer. You got it because the company you work for wants to make money and they think you can help. It's easy for us to feel like our worth/value/capitalist ex pression is tied to our employment\, but it's also useful to flip that nar rative and talk about how our companies need us\, and how we can use that understanding to be more valuable employees and even better humans. \n\n What is the value that you bring to your employer? Can you articulate it? Can you expand it? Can you take that value and use it for your own purpose s? \n\n Speaker: Neha Batra (Engineering Manager\, GitHub) \n\n Talk: Micr oallyship: Micro servicing your team’s culture \n\n What can you do toda y to reinforce your dedication to support the marginalized? I’ll be shar ing 10 tiny microallyship patches we can apply to our environment to suppo rt our folks\, starting right now! \n\n \n\n The Lead Developer is an inte rnational series of conferences and meetups for technical leaders in Londo n\, Berlin\, Austin\, New York and San Francisco.
