Effective Discussions for Technical Decision-Making
Allison McMillan • August 01, 2024 • Madison, WI

Whiteboards. Pairing. Spikes. These are the tools we use to have high-level technical conversations about ideas or approaches. How you conduct and lead these conversations involves articulating a vision and securing buy-in, while also valuing and integrating diverse perspectives and feedback from others. The goal is to foster an environment where ideas can be exchanged, discussed, enhanced, and decided on. You’ll walk away from this talk with some new approaches to get your technical ideas across and also solicit thoughts and opinions in ways that engage different points of view.
