Carpaccio Methodology: Connecting the dots between ‘the work engineers do’ and a ‘profitable org’

This talk explores how CTOs can effectively request and justify budget allocations beyond mere "new features," with a focus on team size and infrastructure using the Carpaccio Method. The speaker discusses the limitations of traditional DORA metrics and highlights the importance of acknowledging both visible and invisible work in software development. Attendees will learn about a transparent, goal-oriented approach to tracking productivity through a Healthy Productivity Index, which integrates defect management, feature development, and the often-overlooked efforts that contribute to a software company's success. Alberto Silveira Jr., CTO of HireVue.com, guides participants in empowering their software engineers to achieve business objectives.
