Firefighting to Flow: Forecasting For Developers - Interview with Tom Ridge
08 Oct 2025
I was really grateful to have Tom Ridge join me for a deep, honest conversation about leadership, agile delivery, and what it really takes to help engineering teams succeed.Tom shared how his team turned things around after projects fell behind schedule -- using data, reducing scope, and applying Little’s Law to make forecasting less about guesses and more about measurable flow. We also dug into the human side of engineering: having difficult conversations, building psychological safety, and creating team environments where people feel supported instead of pressured.----You can find Tom at:- LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-j-ridge/- Newsletter: https://tomjridge.substack.com/----🎥 Channels:@DevLeader: C#, DotNet, and Programming Tutorials@DevLeaderPodcast: Podcast and Livestream@DevLeaderPathToTech: Resume Reviews & Job Interviews@CodeCommute: Q&A Vlog on Software Engineering & Careers@BrandGhostAI: Cross Post and Schedule Content!
