A technical project lead is in the unique position to scope projects for making progress against technology investments and technical debt, as well as increasing the effectiveness of every developer on the team. In this ELEVATE session, Dominique Simoneau-Ritchie (Chief Technology Officer at Affinity) will share proven techniques to set up projects in such a way that everyone on your team ships with high confidence and quality. She will talk about establishing the automated testing frameworks, data, and examples required to make it mandatory to add automated tests as part of every code change. She will also talk about how to ensure all developers have quick feedback loops to implement and test their changes, and prioritize technical debt and defects that will cause slow downs and problems later. To make progress against your engineering goals, ensure projects are built according to areas you’re investing in (e.g. converting code to TypeScript, adopting React and GraphQL, leveraging new frameworks, etc.)
