Abstract

You're about to start your new role of EM. Your first day on the job you learn that your team has not met their goals last quarter, and you'll be tasked with improving their performance moving forward. This was Ale's situation last October. This talk is about how to get up to speed on the context necessary to build up your team. Ale goes though how she used data to evaluate the state of the team, worked with them to identify opportunities for improvement, and ultimately boosted delivery performance by 50%.
