Resources for Engineering Managers and Software Engineers
A checklist for engineering managers, business case for a platform team, project lead expectations, performance reviews and others
 |
Below are documents and templates that hundreds of engineering managers and engineers have used with success at various companies. I'll add new ones to this page, as I come around to the several other templates that served me over the years.
I do not suggest blindly copying any of these documents. Instead, use them as inspiration. They worked for me for my specific situations over the years. Your situation - business context, team structure, team dynamics - will be different, and you’ll want to tailor for this context. If you think they'll help: give it a go, iterate on them, and make them yours!
Consider creating your own “templates” for common situations you come across: and share them with your peers for feedback. This is how I created many of these documents: and I have always been surprised by the quality and quantity of helpful feedback received.
What are other documents, templates, or approaches that you'd find helpful? Please send a message or leave a comment.
