Engineering Strategy and Planning

이 글은 소프트웨어 엔지니어링에서 전략과 계획 수립의 중요성을 설명합니다. 좋은 전략은 명확한 문제 진단, 이를 해결할 정책, 그리고 일관된 실행 행동으로 구성되며, 이를 통해 팀이 무엇에 집중하고 무엇을 배제할지 결정할 수 있게 합니다. 전략은 실행 가능한 계획으로 구체화되어야 하며, 명확한 목표 설정, 자원 배분, 의사결정 원칙을 통해 팀의 노력이 큰 성과로 이어지도록 합니다. 또한 프로젝트 선정과 크기 조절, 그리고 예상치 못한 방해 요소 대응 방안도 다루어 실무에 적용 가능한 전략적 엔지니어링 관리 방법론을 제시합니다.

DORA metrics aren't the right choice to understand the impact of your engineering strategy.

You need to choose context specific metrics that will help you:

✅ Measure engineering strategy progress
✅ Know when to stop
✅ Keep people focused on impacting the right metric
✅ A metric that is related to your business strategy from an engineering PoV

When you use DORA, you may:

❌ Lose the engineering strategy focus
❌ Not provide a strong correlation to what the strategy wants to achieve

There are some misconceptions about deciding context specific engineering strategy metrics, like:

👉 You don't need to measure, just execute.
👉 Measuring is hard and time consuming

In the article, I share why those are misconceptions and how you can measure without requiring a costly data implementation.

I also provide some examples of metrics I used in the past from real world examples.

I'm available for #EngineeringStrategy individual coaching sessions 🙌

This week I finished a set of coaching sessions with an engineering manager, and I opened a new slot for anyone that wants to up skill their careers in a more strategic position.

During my coaching sessions we will:

👉 Understand your goals and if I'm the right person to support you during your journey
👉 Propose a path forward to achieve those goals.
👉 Have regular sessions to see your progress, and set personal activities to up skill you on the engineering strategy space.

Up to today, I worked with technical leaders to:

👉 Understand how they can influence better their organization
👉 How to design and execute an engineering strategy
👉 How to overcome internal friction to change

I consider coaching like pairing for leadership. Don't feel alone making hard decisions, and have a second opinion on your tough situation.

Let's schedule a discovery call to understand if I can help you!

Recently, I've been posting about performance metrics for tech teams and people. Why it's necessary and what the problems are when it's not done well.

And from that two questions arose:

• Who are the users of metrics?
• What are their needs?

I would love to know who for you would be the users of performance metrics. Who defines them? What do you need them for? What is necessary to define good metrics?

I'm creating a wardley map out of the conversation that I started in the #EngineeringStrategy Community in Discord.

I had an amazing experience by meeting people for first time within my network. 🤩

We have spoken about learning and development, engineering strategy, wardley maps, platform engineering, and more.

I created a summary post to share some learnings and conversation I had during this week.

💯 recommended experience.
