Session
"Can we deliver a reasonable MVP scope of this strategic airline partnership integration in three weeks?" asked the Senior Design Manager during a late Friday afternoon ad-hoc meeting. "Impossible!" I responded. "Three weeks are not enough, not even to adjust UI communication significantly." To my surprise, I was proven wrong!
In this session, we take you behind the scenes of delivering a production-ready MVP under extreme time constraints. Using a real-world case study, we’ll reveal the critical factors for success in rapid delivery across 18 engineering teams, the entire user flow, and a handful of large Python codebases. We will demonstrate how leveraging AI on multiple fronts enhanced our productivity and present various refactoring approaches to address the subsequent technical debt in Python code. Discover how "Deliver, Deploy, Refactor, Repeat" became our winning strategy.
Join us to explore practical strategies for thriving in high-pressure scenarios, keeping your team aligned with business goals, and maintaining a healthy Python codebase.
