Harnessing Livebook for Enhanced Collaboration and Understanding

Vanessa Lee's talk for ElixirConf 2024 highlights the potential of Livebook, a collaborative code notebook within the Elixir ecosystem, to bridge gaps between technical and non-technical teams. She emphasizes that Livebook is not just useful for data science, but offers a robust set of features that facilitate team collaboration through code and data. By promoting empathy across engineering and non-engineering departments, Livebook serves as a tool that provides clarity and a shared understanding of data applications. The presentation will include practical examples demonstrating how Livebook enhances communication and supports non-technical members during times of limited engineering resources. Attendees can expect to gain insights on how to incorporate Livebook into their workflows to foster ownership and improve cross-functional teamwork.
