					                    Abstract
					
						Engineering teams have an opportunity to rethink how they measure performance. Productivity and output metrics alone don’t tell the whole story or inspire action. Even DORA metrics — a widely accepted standard for measuring software development performance — leave out some key insights. In her session, Uplevel VP of product Christina Forney will discuss why prioritization planning and burnout insights are needed to add context to engineering efforts. She’ll share how successful teams are using data-driven insights to not only measure effectiveness but also align priorities and quantify burnout, providing a more comprehensive view of engineering performance.

        A .NET Developer's Journey through OAuth
        Tuesday Jun 13 / 04:10PM EDT
        
            
            Identity is hard. As technologies continue to advance, developers continue to build their own identity solutions, with usernames and passwords. OAuth was created to help address this, and developers are still struggling to navigate through it.

        High Cardinality War Stories
        Tuesday Jun 13 / 05:25PM EDT
        
            
            High Cardinality – a term that can derail engineering leaders and software engineers alike. When seeking profound insights from their systems, they often find themselves limited by the cardinality constraints of their observability tools.
