Feedback – when to give it and how to do it effectively is a hard balance to get right. Some people find it hard to receive, and some people find it hard to give. In my mind, all feedback is valuable, as long as you keep in mind 3 things:
1. Is it respectful?
2. Is it constructive, and therefore understandable and actionable?
3. Outside of a Scrum Retrospective, are you remembering to praise in public and criticize in private?
At SSW we have a Retrospective culture, and I want everyone to give and receive feedback all the time. It’s a big part of the Scrum process, and I’ve found it to be a great way to consistently improve everything we’re doing.
In the video below, Matt and Uly talk about the Retrospective and how it is a forum that invites feedback. Everyone participating in the Retro knows in advance that they will give and receive feedback, so they’re prepared. But what about feedback given outside of this Retrospective bubble, the so called “unsolicited feedback”?

By the end of this workshop you will have built a working Angular application that you can extend into an enterprise application.
This fast-paced 1-day course covers many topics, such as web development with .NET 8, data access with EF Core, automated testing, and many other enterprise topics.
You will finish the day with a solid understanding of why you should be using .NET and the enterprise capabilities using the new platform.
Evolving the Building Blocks of Your Codebase as you Scale - LIVE at SSW Melbourne
Octopus Deploy is a leading deployment automation solution that is built in Australia and beyond. Their product is being scaled to meet the needs of some of their largest Enterprise customers and they have spun up a team to help with that growth - the “Server at Scale” team. 🚀
Over the last 6 months, “Server at Scale” has been hitting some interesting failure modes at Enterprise scale in one of their application’s building blocks, the “ServerTask”. Octopus Deploy is concurrently rebuilding that entire area, but delivery is two years away! 👷♂️⏳

She is involved in the NZ developer community, previously as a co-organiser for GDG and C# Meetups in Auckland, co-running DevFest, organising and participating in various Women and Nonbinary People in Tech initiatives, and speaking at conferences.
