Debugging Humans: How MBTI Helps Engineering Teams Communicate Better

July 10, 2026 15:40 – 16:10 Β· 30 min Stage 4

What this session covers

Software teams spend enormous effort on codes - yet many of the biggest productivity issues are not technical at all. They come from miscommunication, mismatched expectations, and avoidable friction between equally capable engineers.

In this talk, I will explore how MBTI - a 16 personality assessment - can be used as a practical communication framework for engineer teams - not as a personality label or hiring tool, but as a shared language to understand different working and communication preferences.

I will share how small adjustments in communication can dramatically improve team effectiveness.

This session focuses on actionable, engineer-friendly techniques to reduce friction, improve collaboration, and build high-performing teams.
