Workshop Description
The proposed workshop is designed to address the needs of tech leads and engineering managers, thus the content and exercises will focus on the effective utilization of analyzed data from git repositories to optimize software development processes and enhance team dynamics. An AI-generated code topic will be briefly introduced as a teaser, while the focus remains on practical insights and techniques (based on the fundamentals of software development).
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to apply the insights and techniques learned to their own projects and teams, and continuously monitor and learn from their git repositories for ongoing improvement.
What will you Learn:
Equip tech leads and engineering managers with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively utilize analysed data extracted from git repositories for optimising software development processes, improving team dynamics, and driving continuous improvement within their teams.
