The Next Chapter of Dev Productivity: Aligning Experience with Excellence
Most organizations have already taken strides to improve developer experience, streamlining workflows and adopting modern tooling. Yet many still grapple with operational blind spots, security risks, and escalating costs. In this forward-looking session, we explore how to move beyond a narrow focus on developer satisfaction and integrate core pillars of engineering excellence—security, reliability, efficiency, and velocity—into every facet of the development process. Building on the foundation of your existing DevX successes, we’ll dive into practical strategies for enforcing production-ready standards, automating security checks, and optimizing performance without sacrificing developer autonomy. Learn how to evolve your DevX efforts into a holistic approach that not only keeps your teams happy and productive, but also ensures that your software remains stable, cost-effective, and ready for the future. Join us to discover how to write the next chapter in developer productivity—one that truly balances experience with excellence.
