How can teams become more effective at making decisions quickly and reaching a working consensus? Join us as we explore team decision making, the challenges in blending human expertise, and the use of software tools to maintain a shared situational awareness and improve the timeliness and quality of decisions. This talk explores problems that engineering teams and startups wrestle with as they move from hunches to working technology to product to repeatable, scalable processes. This talk will cover how groups make decisions and how to systemically approach the management of exploration and verification cycles in product and customer development situations. Whether you are a solo entrepreneur, a talented engineer, a manager or a CEO you will learn some practical tips for leading your team to successful decision making.
