The DNA of highly effective teams
Initially dismissive of "Culture eats strategy for breakfast," the author realized its truth when their team's strong culture led to canceling an unused 24/7 support service. This talk shares insights from building SaaS products, highlighting the impact of effective team culture, rather than focusing on methodologies like Scrum.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast". That widely quoted statement, attributed to Peter Drucker, never really spoke to me and I found it pretty bland - until the day I was asked how we were actually able to pull it off. Half a year earlier we cancelled the subscription to our 24/7 support team because they didn't have any work with our services. Now, as I was explaining to the former lead of that support team how we work, I realized that for the most part our smooth sailing could be attributed to our team culture - and it suddenly clicked. Now Drucker's sentence made sense.The last couple of years as a software engineer I spent building SaaS products for end customers. I want to share my observations from working in highly effective software teams with you. Spoiler: this is not a talk about Scrum.
