Has this ever happened to you? You’re in a meeting, and you and your colleagues just can’t seem to get each other. You’ve shared all the relevant data, and the solution seems obvious to you… But there they go again heading off in some completely esoteric and unintelligible way. Frustrating right? It’s a little like what happens when you write some code, only to find it misbehaving in production right?
As developers we solved misbehaving code with Unit Tests. WE adjusted the way we develop so we could get more predictable outcomes. WE invented TDD. What if there was a way to apply to that those confusing and often frustrating conversations with our colleagues? What if we could test our conversations as we make them to get to better results? Let’s talk about how we might apply the Ladder of Inference to help us test and verify our conversations and our conclusions as we make them!
Food and drinks will be provided! Please contact us (on meetup) if you have any dietary restrictions/food allergies.
Meeting will be held in the offices of SmartDraw Software, 1780 Hughes Landing Blvd #1100 on the 11th floor.
Daniel Scheufler is a Principal Consultant at Improving with experience in ECommerce, TeleMedicine, and of course Oil and Gas. As an Electrical Engineer turned Software Developer, He prides himself on highly disciplined development leading to more effective products and processes. He is a problem-solver at heart and leverages this strength in applying industrial theory to the challenges of software development. Of late, Daniel has honed my focus on Leadership in Software Development, and on the communication aspect of his work. Everything rises and falls on Leadership. Communication is a key part of that skill set.
So Daniel has taken to blogging, public speaking, and consulting to help bridge the gap and demystify the technology our world depends on. When not engaged in tackling the gap, or coding, you’ll find Daniel playing with his three children, reading, or tinkering whether in the woodshop or in a computer.
