Move dev teams aren’t against tools improvement. Most dev teams really do believe that better tools and automation will make their lives better, let them ship code faster, and increase code quality. Despite this, many teams don’t adopt new tools because they are worried that these will disrupt what’s working; or if it’s not working, then these new tools will be just one more thing they tried that made things worse. The solution isn’t new tools, but rather improving the software development process itself, carefully and strategically.

In this talk we aren’t going to cover agile vs waterfall planning. We aren’t going to cover that one cool framework that will make your code better. It won’t be about a magic tool that will make everything better. This talk is about improving your development processes strategically and incrementally so that you keep shipping while quality and development velocity both go up.
