"Are you in a position where it feels like there's no trust between you and your stakeholders? Or are you worried that you might be heading into that position? I've been there, and I'm here to help. In February 2016, I moved from Developer to Manager of a team who were in their fifth year of a two-year project. To make matters worse, they had another deployment of an equally complex product that needed to happen nearly immediately due to competitive pressures (spoiler alert: we did not hit the deadline the customer wanted). In this talk, I'll cover tips and tricks to build transparency, and with that transparency, build trust as well as about how to overcome a legacy of distrust and build stronger relationships. Additionally, I will talk about what has and hasn't worked and how we've dealt with and overcome additional setbacks."
