Description

“Your business applications should be just as intuitive as every other app or website or anything else that you're engaging with in your day-to-day lives”. That’s the product-led approach that Jon Walton took as an engineering leader at Red Bull, where he spent nearly a decade working on the apps that help the energy drink maker run the extreme sports competitions and spectacles it's known for.On this episode, Jon argues that this product-led philosophy is the way all organizations should manage any technology strategy. He also explains why Red Bull’s special events needed special custom-built software, and how the company improved the way it built software in the first place by embracing principles like lean, agile, and pair programming that transformed the team in ways they never anticipated.This is Crafted from Artium: a show about great products, and the people who make them.  At Artium, we help startups and enterprises build incredible products, recruit high-performing teams, and achieve the culture of craft they need to build great software long after we’re gone.

Craft. Attention to detail. Constant iteration. There’s an art to creating great software. On Crafted, host Dan Blumberg speaks with engineers, designers and product people of all stripes to explore great products and the craft of software development. We’ll get into the weeds to understand: What trade-offs did they make? What experiments did they run? And what was the moment when they knew – when they just knew – that they were on to something? At Artium we care deeply about the craft of building great software - and great companies. We help organizations build best in class products, industry leading software and collaborative cross-functional teams that scale. Join us as we explore the art of… craft.
