creating a global engineering culture - agile india 2014
DESCRIPTION
A short (and incomplete) telling of how we got to where we are as an engineering organization for Groupon. A little philosophy about what motivates individuals and teams. And finally a little bit about what we're doing at Groupon. When it comes to creating a global culture, remember that you are more archeologist than architect. Uncover the good that is already happening and help to share it rather than trying to design something new.TRANSCRIPT
