Dungeons and Developers: Uniting Experience Levels in Engineering Teams by Chantelle Isaacs Join us in “Dungeons and Developers,” a unique exploration of team dynamics through the lens of Dungeons & Dragons. Discover how the roles and skills in D&D can enlighten the way we build, manage, and nurture diverse engineering teams. Whether you’re a manager aiming to construct a formidable team (Constitution) or an individual seeking to self-assess and advance your career (Charisma), this talk will guide you in leveraging technical and transferable talents. Together we’ll identify your developer archetype and complete a 'Developer Character Sheet'—our tool for highlighting abilities, proficiencies, and alignment in a fun, D&D-inspired format. Developers and managers alike will leave this talk with a newfound appreciation for the varied skills and talents each person brings to the table.
