How To Avoid TOXIC Team Culture In Software Development

One of the strongest predictors of success in software development is team culture, but that is such an ephemeral idea that it can be hard to nail down what we mean when we say one development team has a strong culture and another doesn’t and it can be even more difficult to work out how to change something as broad as “team culture” for the better. So how do we lead teams to cultures that help them to achieve better results and what are the attributes of team culture that high-performing teams share?

In this episode, Dave Farley author of best-selling books “Continuous Delivery”, “CD Pipelines” and “Modern Software Engineering” explores what team culture is, why it matters, and what sorts of culture predict more success for the teams that have it, and goes on to recommend how we can change from whatever our development culture is now to something that the data says will be more productive.
