“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.
