Product Owner's Perspective on Flutter with Tom Arra

Today, we talk to Tom Arra. Tom is a Program Manager at Very Good Ventures. Previously, he worked as Product Owner at BMW, Microsoft, and Nokia. We talked about his experience with Flutter as a Product Owner.

First, we briefly discussed how Tom switched from Software Development to Product Ownership and Program Management. Then, Tom shared his experience with Flutter at BMW and Very Good Ventures.

We learned how Flutter got its way into BMW, and how the company managed to adopt the technology. Tom's and BMW's experience with Flutter was positive: most developers could focus on writing Dart code, ship apps for multiple platforms while maintaining app quality, performance and delivering value to customers on time. Flutter also helped with working with designers and delivering beautiful apps on both iOS and Android.

We talked about open-source at bigger organizations, as well as a couple of examples from VGV's open-source projects. We talked about how software quality matters and why the 100% test coverage can improve stability and prevent regressions.
