You have code you don't want to change because it will likely cause bugs, but the business requires the code to evolve. Refactoring is a common solution, but it can itself introduce bugs. Marian Hartman (formally Willeke) will present empathy-based techniques (Arlo Belshee's risk tagging and Naming as a Process) that make refactoring successful, and will facilitate how managers can tell the impact of those techniques.
Dr. Marian Willeke’s mission in life is to make learning as natural as breathing. Marian provides technical practices that integrate with everyday work and create sustainable habits that shape the organization’s technical culture. Her work is grounded in a decade of academic strategic leadership that focused on systemic and scalable learning for fast growing universities.
