How To Join The Tech Nottingham Slack Group
After the launch: the difficult teenage years
by Anna Shipman
When launching a new product to replace an old one, it’s easy to rally behind the mission and make good technical decisions. But once it’s launched, the vision is not so clear, corners cut to get the site live come back to bite, and things can very easily lose focus.
Based on my experience with the launch of two major sites (FT.com and GOV.UK) this talk is about how to bring things back on track.
how to refresh the vision
what to focus on in the tech strategy
handling gnarly code that has grown unchecked
making it easy to support
protecting a DevOps culture when the business is unhappy
tending a system that will live on, rather than be replaced again a few years down the line
