Building 10x Organizations with Internal Developer Portals

Track: Tech Leadership
Abstract
Developer Experience is Dead! Long Live Developer Experience!

In this keynote style session, we’ll take a detailed, granular look at the barriers to productivity faced by developers today. 10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’

Right now, here in early 2024, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience or ‘DevEx.’ It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity productivity philosophies to go alongside them.

We have no need to reinvent another productivity approach when effective solutions such as internal developer portals already exist. As business leaders, we just need to invest in and create urgency behind these solutions today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade.
