My first 90 days, kick starting a new team for long term success

As a new team member, new tech lead or engineering manager, you might be wondering how to start (at) a new team and which strategy to choose to set up your team for success.

Anastasiia will share what she learned from using the classic first 90 day strategy and how she adapted it to work even better for software engineering teams.

From this talk you will learn how to be operational in your first 90 days and how to create your own strategy for your team based on its needs.

Your 90-days successful strategy can give you a more harmonious team, effective processes, faster delivery life cycles, a predictable roadmap and, most importantly, happy users and satisfied clients.
