Firefighting to Flow: Forecasting For Developers - Interview with Tom Ridge
from Dev Leader Podcast · host Dev Leader
I was really grateful to have Tom Ridge join me for a deep, honest conversation about leadership, agile delivery, and what it really takes to help engineering teams succeed. Tom shared how his team turned things around after projects fell behind schedule -- using data, reducing scope, and applying Little’s Law to make forecasting less about guesses and more about measurable flow. We also dug into the human side of engineering: having difficult conversations, building psychological safety, and creating team environments where people feel supported instead of pressured. ---- You can find Tom at: - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-j-ridge/ - Newsletter: https://tomjridge.substack.com/ ---- 🎥 Channels: @DevLeader: C#, DotNet, and Programming Tutorials @DevLeaderPodcast: Podcast and Livestream @DevLeaderPathToTech: Resume Reviews & Job Interviews @CodeCommute: Q&A Vlog on Software Engineering & Careers @BrandGhostAI: Cross Post and Schedule Content!
