In today's world of machines, there are two leading maintenance techniques to support a standard machine lifecycle. Predictive maintenance revolutionizes the future of machines. It tracks each of the machines' unique lifecycle and doesn't generalize. It allows us to know if our machines need to be attended to in advance.
In this talk, I will share a special maritime case study and discusses the big promise of predictive maintenance. In a world full of machines, we need to be the bridge connecting the methods of the past to the opportunities of the future.
Software Managers - Focus on What’s Important
Software Engineering, Soft Skills, Professional Development, Leadership, Business Development, Product
Software managers - you're all familiar with the many stages of leading a product from ideation, through delivering the first versions, scaling it up and finally maintaining it. Each of these stages require having a different mindset, so we’re able to shift our focus and work on what’s important for the product, in its specific state. How do you balance prioritizing the technical needs over the product needs? How do you answer to both your team and your users? When and why should you make infrastructure and architecture changes? And how do you reflect all the technical details to your business stakeholders who don’t speak the technical language? In this talk, I’ll share my view on how to find the right focus for your team based on the specific product’s state. Let’s see how we can make our day to day more focused so our delivery is more valuable!
