Every day, engineers face choices that can make or break projects. Yet, decision-making is often slow, painful, and ineffective. As an Engineer, Product Owner and Software Architect, I’ve seen decision-making challenges from multiple angles. To go deeper, I interviewed over 50 tech professionals to uncover why scaling engineering teams struggle—and how to fix it._x000D_ Processes like RFCs (Requests for Comments), which should facilitate rapid, informed decisions, also pose challenges, and can become bureaucratic bottlenecks instead. Beyond slowing teams down, poor decision-making increases stress, reduces psychological safety, and discourages engineers from speaking up. In this talk, I’ll share actionable strategies to transform and guide your RFC process and decision-making workflows:_x000D_ You’ll hear real stories of teams that turned their decision-making from a liability into a superpower. We’ll explore how emerging AI-driven tools can streamline RFC processes, reducing cognitive load and allowing engineers to focus on innovation. I’ll also highlight how to incorporate lightweight automation tools into your decision process, helping teams adapt faster in a world increasingly driven by AI._x000D_ By the end, you’ll gain a game-changing toolkit adaptable to any team setup and tech stack. Whether you’re scaling a fast-growing startup or leading a mature engineering team, these strategies will help you make faster, smarter, and more impactful decisions._x000D_ Don’t let indecision hold your team back. Faster decisions mean faster innovation - join me to transform your decision-making and stay ahead.
