From Desert To Forest – watch Beth Andres-Beck’s talk from myConf 2025!
Predictability and creativity are common trade-offs. In this talk, Beth shows how organizational design drives these dynamics, and how managers and engineers can shape conditions for software to thrive.
There are two hard problems in software development: building valuable software and managing the team that builds software. In hir talk at myConf 2025, Beth used the analogy of a desert and a forest to show how organisational design affects the outcome of software development, what actually works and how engineers can drive the solutions.
