YesTechnology - Keeping technical skills evolving - Level up your soft skills (Sophie Vo)
This masterclass is designed for programmers, technical leads, and technical directors who want to improve the performance and scalability of their teams by mastering the human systems behind technical production. As game development pipelines become more complex (AI integration, live services, multi-platform constraints), the main bottlenecks shift from code to coordination, decision-making, and team alignment. Led by Sophie Vo, a leadership coach with 17 years of experience in the game and tech industry, the session provides practical frameworks to structure technical decision-making, improve cross-discipline collaboration, handle conflicts around architecture or production constraints, and transition from senior contributor to effective technical leader, ultimately enabling faster, more reliable, and higher-quality delivery. I - What people really want at work II - How to build trust in a systematic way, without crossing boundaries III - Master effective communication and feedback, without stress IV - Master your emotions, expand your impact, without stress and chaos
Objectives of the training
- Structure technical decision-making (trade-offs, prioritization, ownership)
- Improve communication within complex development pipelines (async/sync, feedback loops)
- Manage and resolve technical conflicts (architecture choices, production constraints)
- Build trust mechanisms that increase team velocity and improve team efficiency
Profile of beneficiaries
