What You’ll Learn 

If your team is stuck in long release cycles, firefighting bugs, or drowning in “process,” this session will show you a better way.

You’ll walk away with:

• The 3 mental models used by fast-moving teams to unlock delivery speed

• Why tiny changes take weeks – and how to fix that without a full rewrite

• How to improve both speed and quality through tighter feedback loops

• What’s actually slowing your team down (hint: it’s not just tooling)

• Real examples of teams shipping 2–5× faster – without chaos or burnout

Whether you’re leading a team or a company, you’ll learn practical ways to ship faster, reduce bugs, and regain trust.

Who It’s For 

This session is built for people who are accountable for shipping software – and frustrated by how long it takes.

It’s for you if:

• You’re a founder who needs more from a small team, but can’t keep adding headcount

• You’re a head of engineering or CTO trying to fix delivery without burning out your best people

• You’re a product or delivery lead who’s tired of delays, bugs, and excuses

• You’ve already tried agile rituals, CI/CD, or AI tools – but still feel stuck

If you’ve got a smart team, good intentions, and too much chaos, this will help.
