Developing Leadership

Episode 17 | Building Product Delivery Organizations with Jonathan Nolen from LaunchDarkly

We welcome Jonathan Nolen, Senior VP of Engineering and Product at LaunchDarkly, to talk about his 100+ people Product Delivery team - a term coined by the company, where Engineering, Product, and Design come together.

Key Takeaways:

  • Tech companies should shift their mindset from building and shipping software to delivering services to customers.
  • Having Engineering, Product, and Design as one team with shared goals is key for all companies delivering services.
  • Impact is not just about visibility. Your teams need to articulate what their impact is, preferably in one sentence.
  • Structuring your orgs right is necessary for scaling, but finding the right individuals is essential for success.
