Your organization structure has a big impact on your workflows. Learn how to bolster your approach to drive more efficient product development.

If you’re responsible for a team, a product area, or an engineering organization, you should be thoughtful about your organization design, as it will impact the shape of the end product. But there are a ton of different possible organization structures: matrixed organizations, siloed organizations, cross-functional organizations, and more. How do we know what structure is best for our given problem space and stage?

Over the last 18 months, I had the opportunity to build the second product at semgrep from the ground up. At a few different stages, I had to decide the shape of our product development organization. Through research, conversations with other managers, trial, and lots of error, we evolved our organization to meet the changing needs of the product as it went from an idea, to an experiment, to launch and revenue.

You will leave this talk with knowledge on:  

    • How the design of your organization impacts product success
    • What structure is best for your scenario
    • Practical insights on how to apply this knowledge
