Show Notes Chapter Markers

Shawn Harris, Software Engineer at Google, joins Kate for the second episode! We discuss how process is the ultimate DevTool because the hard part of software development is not the coding, it's working together.

Agile Scrum and Jira are Shawn's personal favorites, but we also talk about how to tweak processes depending on the team you're on and even define a step-by-step plan to help you get new processes rolling on your team. 

We close out the episode with talking about how software development processes will change in the future, including Shawn's hypothesis that it will incorporate psychology to accommodate for modern pressures like pager duty and CI/CD.
