Are you finding it challenging to convince key decision-makers to allocate ample time and resources for vital technical work and enhancements? Are you often working overtime or subtly incorporating improvement efforts into your schedule? Essential tasks like expanding test coverage, refactoring, code clean-up, library updates, and experimenting with innovative technologies are all invaluable to business growth, albeit their benefits may not be immediately apparent.

We invite you to this interactive workshop designed to arm you with essential strategies and real-world examples that illustrate both successful and failed attempts to advocate for investment in technical work. We encourage you to bring your own case studies for practical argument practice with an experienced VP of Product.
