How We Build Together — Communities at Essent & Rabobank
Would you like to learn more about communities and their contribution to collaboration and organizational learning? Organised by Young Agile Consortium, hosted at Essent. Robin Jonker and Jesse Schlienkamp from Essent are sharing insights into engineering communities and how they are fundamental to faster software delivery at Essent. They create space for engineers to solve problems at scale, exchange ideas, and collaborate beyond their regular day-to-day work.
The TypeScript Backend community has been such a success that its members are now reflecting on what makes it work so well. In doing so, they’ve identified structural patterns that could be applied to other communities, helping engineers collaborate effectively in ever larger groups.
Chris Stapper, our second speaker from Rabobank, which has over 100 communities, will share how communities are set up and what contributes to their success/scalability. He will touch on the relation to the Simplify@Scale operating model and how communities contribute to knowledge sharing and transparency.
In this meetup, the speakers will share what they’ve learned and open the conversation to others who are building or scaling communities themselves. Together with the audience, they will explore what it means to build and sustain engineering communities at scale, and learn from each other’s successes and challenges.
