How to sell framework and architecture changes to the business

It's easy to get excited about new frameworks and technologies. At least until we need to have those conversations with stakeholders outside of the Engineering team.

How can we make the case for complex and expensive changes that take engineers away from delivering new features for customers immediately? And how can Engineering gain more influence in organisations generally?

In this talk you will learn:

- Why engineers need to speak 'business'.

- What business stakeholders care about (beyond just revenue).

- How to build and defend the case for big engineering projects.
