Your developers time is one of your organizations most valuable resources, but inefficiencies constantly drain it leaving teams struggling to focus on what truly matters most- delivering high quality code on time. In this session, we’ll explore practical ways to eliminate waste and give developers their time back, enabling them to focus on meaningful work that drives value. From task switching and bloated backlogs to unnecessary meetings and dependency bottlenecks, waste takes many forms that erode focus, slow delivery, and demotivate dev teams. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With simple changes to how you work, you can create an environment where your teams can focus AND get their time back. You’ll learn how to interpret signals to help identify and eliminate the biggest blockers that disrupt productivity. We will explore real-world examples of teams that successfully streamlined their processes, giving developers the time and focus they need to do what they do best- write great code and deliver value to customers.
