Building a Product IT Team in a Defense-Tech Company [ukr]
How do you successfully create an IT product in the defense-tech industry? Cutting-edge technology is essential, but the right team structure within the company is just as crucial. After all, the team is the most valuable asset a manager has!
In this talk, I will share my firsthand experience in building an IT team in defense-tech. We grew from a single person to over 30—a journey filled with challenges and tough decisions. I will cover the key obstacles we faced and how we overcame them.
We will also explore:
- A step-by-step strategy for assembling the right team.
- The core tasks and responsibilities assigned to the team.
- Achieved results and the business value delivered to the company.
- Techniques, methodologies, approaches, and tools implemented.
- Tips on staying sane while working in defense-tech.
Defense-tech is a battleground of innovation. How do you build an IT team that "fights" for results instead of against itself? Let's discuss it at the conference!
