Enough that I don’t do any coding myself, and the managers that report to me don’t have time to do much either.) What I’m really doing is changing the engineering culture at OpenSesame. Culture doesn’t change easily. Bigger than a breadbox, anyway. It tends to snap back. This makes room for a lot more skills.

For example, MEDDIC —or the variant I’m more familiar with, MEDDPICC. For example, for our customer-facing web application, we might set an SLO that 99.9% By setting a shared expectation up front for how services should perform, teams are then able to frame the need for scaling and reliability work in terms of risk to the SLO.

In retrospect, the most interesting transition along the whole journey for me was probably moving from managing only ICs to also managing managers.

Our existing deploy tooling and engineering culture made the transition to remote work go much more smoothly. Though our deploy velocity remained the same, the engineering org has been far from stagnant. In Q1 we promoted Emily Nakashima to VP of Engineering , and we hired two more engineering managers in Q4.

Prior to taking on the tactical project manager role, I was in a senior engineering manager role. The technical project manager role was actually pretty new. But as the engineering manager there, I grew a team from zero. A team of me to a team of about somewhere between 20 and 25 software engineers.
