Your Team, as Saga by Betsy Haibel Software systems are made of code, and the people who work on them. But most of all, they're made of the stories those people tell. Heroic legends of shipping to deadline, spooky ghost stories of refactors gone bad... and a lot of sci-fi, projecting out into a utopian (or dystopian) future. How can you edit this story to make it go right? In this talk, we'll apply fiction-writing tricks to the art of engineering roadmapping. We'll learn how to build narratives, develop our characters, and world-build our way to healthier teams and healthier code.
