Synopsis
Desk Disciplines, the way you go about your daily work as a developer, can make a huge difference in the organization's ability to operate at scale, deliver working solutions, and make safe and reliable releases of software.
With the right desk disciplines, your team members can safely innovate (applying to AI among other possibilities).
Would you like to see how teams can deliver more reliably and predictably with fewer issues at release time? Let's look at some core desk disciplines.
