Immerse yourself in this indispensable resource for leaders tasked with the challenge of building or managing effective software development teams. This book is based on practical wisdom, offering actionable guidance to foster high-performing teams that excel in their projects.
Despite the pivotal role leadership plays in a team's success, there aren't many companies that employ structured, best-practice-driven leadership methods. The core of the book covers several critical areas essential for any tech leader's success: building high-performance teams, project management, code quality, software design and architecture, software development life cycle (SDLC), software quality insurance, observability, technology and business alignment.
The relevance of structured, principled leadership in tech has never been more important. Tech Leadership Playbook aims to equip leaders with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the challenges of evolving business successfully.
