Scaling Delivery Without Losing Flexibility
How do you scale software delivery while keeping teams flexible, autonomous and ready to adapt?
As teams grow, so do dependencies, coordination needs and the pressure to deliver. Finding the right balance between structure and flexibility becomes an everyday engineering challenge.

Technical Program Management at Scale
Abstract: As technology organizations grow, Technical Program Management becomes less about managing a backlog and more about aligning teams, priorities, and leadership around measurable outcomes. Drawing on the practices and lessons of Criteo R&D’s EPM group, this talk explores how to connect strategy with engineering work, make trade-offs visible, keep planning flexible, break down complex initiatives, and influence decisions without formal authority. It offers practical patterns for improving cross-functional delivery in any growing technology organization.
