CTOs at Scale Global: How to Build/Scale Your Software Factory
ONLY for CTOs (and VPE's/Heads of Engineering) running orgs of ~100+ engineers.
Brought to you by Gather.dev with support from our partners at Svitla Systems.
How to Build Your Software Factory
A handful of teams have built software factories where no human writes or reads the code. As CTOs at Scale, you've probably seen this in pockets: one team hits 10x, but it doesn't spread. The question is how to make this reproducible across an entire org.
In this event, we’ll break down what it takes to build a software factory: the orchestration, context, verification, clean-up and compounding/learning/dreaming elements required to ship a flexible set of software factories for delivering high quality code more quickly.
We’ll then look at what it takes to scale adoption and usage of a software factory across a team, an org or an enterprise.
This is a working session, not a webinar. After a brief opening to frame the problem, we'll spend most of the hour in small breakout groups of 5-8 CTOs tackling the hardest factory questions: How do you build the coordination, verification, and governance layers that turn isolated experiments into organizational capability? What does it take to make a factory work for 500 people, not just your best team?
We'll close by sharing learnings from each group. If you're looking for a talk you can half-listen to on mute, this isn't it. If you want to discuss the actual issues you're facing with CTOs who are solving the same problems, join us.
CTOs at Scale is an invite only community for CTOs/VPEs running larger orgs. It is a Gather.dev community, curated by Peter Bell.
