Session: From Theory to Practice. Building a Skills Taxonomy for Software Engineering Teams.
Companies are becoming flatter, more team and project-oriented, and more focused on people growth. The formal relationship between the “employee“ and the “job role” is weakening. The formal match between the two is often changing, including the skills needed in software engineering. They seem to be changing every few months and the adoption of tech to help you with that is imperative. This talk is about how to put the theory about skills taxonomy into practice for your software engineering teams so that it increases performance, makes your customers happier, and helps your people take ownership of their own careers.Key Takeaways
- What are the key soft and hard skills, and how to identify them
- How to use a skills framework to grow your people
- How to build an actionable development plan based on skills
