Developer Experience: Why we should develop for developers, not at them

Developers have become one of the world’s most precious resources and in today’s challenging economy, boosting their productivity is increasingly seen as a vital success factor. Studies have shown that the issue is not a lack of developers. Instead it is shown that businesses need to better leverage their existing talent. Still, platforms, tools and processes often show an imbalance between catering to the business and developers needs.How can we bring balance and improve the experience of developers? In this talk we will introduce our approach to run a discovery for developer experience. We’ll share learnings from our recent use cases and give practical examples on how to identify the most value-adding activities in the broad field of developer productivity, apply product thinking and measure the success of developer experience initiatives.
