Make Code Reviews Your Superpower.
Introduction to Code Review Workshops
Code Reviews are either a team’s superpower or an expensive bottleneck.
As a developer that practices code reviews, you are well aware of all the benefits of this engineering practice. Not only do code reviews increase the quality, readability, and maintainability of your codebase, but also foster collaboration of team members, increase knowledge sharing, mentoring and learning.
Still, code reviews also have their expensive drawbacks. In the worst case, code reviews drastically reduce the productivity of an engineering team while yielding to questionable or mediocre code improvements at best. I've seen too many companies suffer from the costly drawbacks of code reviews. Engineers spend a significant amount of time doing code reviews while experiencing pitfalls such as large reviews, long review times, insecurities on review approaches, and varying quality of code review feedback.
In a code review workshop you learn how to implement a high-impact code review practice.
By understanding and measuring your code review pain points, and learning proven code review best practices, you learn how to transform your code reviews from nightmare to a valuable superpower.
After the workshop, it will be crystal clear to you and your team how to effectively increase turnaround times while also ensuring high-quality review feedback. Learn from extensive code review research done by companies like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook. Get a rock-solid foundation on how to implement code reviews to ensure high productivity and high agility for your company.
Gets to fast and effective code reviews, and improve collaboration and communication, by booking a code review workshop.

What's Included?
In this highly interactive code review workshop, I show you the most essential aspects of how to get to fast, yet effective code reviews. I reveal actionable strategies to overcome major pain points such as slow review turn-around times and low feedback quality.
Another area that we will touch on is how to give respectful and constructive code review feedback, and I teach you a highly effective method to handle and resolve conflicts. This code review training series is dedicated to developers, product managers, engineering leads, and other folks actively participating in the code review process.
Topics
- How does code review speed impact review quality?
- How to increase code review speed?
- How to increase feedback quality?
- Latest code review research and best practices
- How do Google, Microsoft, Facebook review code?
- Respectful, constructive code review feedback
- Positively resolving conflicts during code reviews
Hi, I'm Dr. Michaela Greiler.
Over the last 10 years, I extensively researched and developed test, build, and code review techniques and tools that boost the effectiveness and efficiency of engineering teams. I worked with all major product teams at Microsoft, such as Office, Windows, and Visual Studio to overcome pitfalls during code reviews.
Since 2018, I also help companies outside of Microsoft boost their code review practices.
I have a Ph.D. from Delft University of Technology in Software Engineering and received the Google Techmaker Award. I also run the Software Engineering Unlocked podcast. My research is published in several high-ranked scientific journals.

Thank you for leading the code review workshop earlier in the week. I found it to be informative and engaging. It encouraged discussion in a relaxed environment, which was valuable to me since a lot of the colleagues attending were in orgs that have different practices.

Code-reviews and their expected results are very subjective. Putting them into a valuable and dignified context for all participants can be difficult. This workshop offers actionable ideas and principles that can help improve them for your team and yourself.

Michaela is a great communicator and expert on the topic! I enjoyed the code review training in general, especially provided examples of good and poor code review feedback. If you are interested or want to know more about code reviews best practices I’d definitely recommend her!
