What do cars, chess and Peter Griffin have to do with decision-making? Decision-making is a complex process, we go through it multiple times per day. Everything from micro-decisions like deciding how to write a certain function, up to macro-decisions like deciding what framework to use. As a developer I'm always looking for ways to improve myself, and as a lead I'm always looking for ways to cultivate an effective and autonomous team. One particular skill that is often overlooked is decision-making. In this talk I would like to zoom in on this process. I will be explaining some of the psychology that goes into decision-making, give you some decision-making techniques, explain how a decision-making framework can help your team and why documenting your decisions is essential.

A great talk with great examples of Jobs, and chess. I don’t like the idea of tech retros (in general splitting tech from the rest of the team is not good) but I understand where that comes from and the suggested tool is powerful!

Very, very engaging and interesting talk, with a lot of profound takeaways on how to train yourself in taking better decisions

Great talk, meaningful stories and brilliant exposition.

Very interesting opening talk. Driving experience when encountering an intersections won't be the same anymore, but it's not a problem since all pianos are touching ground in the surroundings.

Just brilliant. I loved the subject, the takeaways and the jokes. It added a fews action point in my to-do list that might help the whole team! Priceless

On that stage, you were a monster. An engaging and interesting talk. Well done. amazing.
