Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software startups make global headlines every day. As technology companies succeed and grow, so do their engineering departments. In your career, you'll may suddenly get the opportunity to lead teams: to become a manager. But this is often uncharted territory. How can you decide whether this career move is right for you? And if you do, what do you need to learn to succeed? Where do you start? How do you know that you're doing it right? What does "it" even mean? And isn't management a dirty word? This book will share the secrets you need to know to manage engineers successfully. Going from engineer to manager doesn't have to be intimidating. Engineers can be managers, and fantastic ones at that. Cast aside the rhetoric and focus on practical, hands-on techniques and tools. You'll become an effective and supportive team leader that your staff will look up to. Start with your transition to being a manager and see how that compares to being an engineer. Learn how to better organize information, feel productive, and delegate, but not micromanage. Discover how to manage your own boss, hire and fire, do performance and salary reviews, and build a great team. You'll also learn the psychology: how to ship while keeping staff happy, coach and mentor, deal with deadline pressure, handle sensitive information, and navigate workplace politics. Consider your whole department. How can you work with other teams to ensure best practice? How do you help form guilds and committees and communicate effectively? How can you create career tracks for individual contributors and managers? How can you support flexible and remote working? How can you improve diversity in the industry through your own actions? This book will show you how. Great managers can make the world a better place. Join us.

Book excerpt: A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. There’s a saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams—and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies. Will Larson’s An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management—from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning—and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.

Book excerpt: Today, a prosperous technology company can be disrupted and put out of business in a blink of an eye. The development of many different technologies that once took years can be done in months or weeks. There are also few examples where the engineering work is completely contained in one company or one engineering organization. Business strategies have evolved. The analysis of competitive forces in an industry has matured to include the concepts of disruptive innovation and coopetition.In an ecosystem characterized by rapid changes in technology and how it is developed, an engineering R&D organization will quickly become irrelevant if it fails to keep the pace of innovation needed to succeed. This book provides readers with a holistic approach to engineering management.We have seen that successful managers create a strong foundation of a common culture that enables learning, value creation, diversity and inclusion. They create organizations that tightly connect the core engineering functions of strategic planning, research and development and are able to comprehend and direct a broader R&D system that stretches well beyond their own organization's boundary. Doing all of this to extract the greatest value in the least amount of time is what we call holistic engineering management.The content for this book is based on over 105 years of combined experience working in a rapidly changing industry. In most chapters, practical examples and case studies of the concepts provided are given. As noted in the foreword by Pat Gelsinger (CEO, VMWare) and in comments from other technology leaders: Aart de Geus (Chairman and co-CEO, Synopsys, Inc.), Aicha Evans (CEO, Zoox, Inc.), William M Holt, (former Executive VP, GM, Intel, Corp.), and Amir Faintuch (Senior VP, GM, GlobalFoundries, Inc.), this book will be valuable for students of engineering management and current engineering managers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competing effectively in a complex global marketplace requires more than just having technological parity with foreign countries. It also requires the effective management of that technology, the people, the organizations, processes, and overall resources. Modern management tools have been developed that can respond to this challenge, but many of today's busy managers, caught up in the necessary rush to generate new products, processes, and services, haven't heard the good news. Hans Thamhain's Engineering Management gets the good word out - clearly and forcefully. He skillfully combines 20 years of R&D and technical management experience with eight years of field research, to show you how to manage technological developments and lead technical personnel in a team-oriented work environment. The book integrates engineering methods with modern management tools and techniques to forge a powerful approach for dealing effectively with the many interrelated variables involved in the management of today's technology-based organization. Engineering Management gets the word out in the most direct way possible - including checklists, figures, tables, forms, practical recipes, case histories, and simulations that turn concepts into practical prescriptions that you can use at work. With each successive chapter, you'll grow more confident in your ability to lead and motivate your workforce; stimulate innovative performance; oversee technical projects and engineering work; manage new product developments faster and more cost effectively; exercise financial control over projects; measure financial control over projects; effectively utilize computer-based decision support systems; allocate your peopleand other resources most effectively; understand joint responsibilities, organizational interfaces, and team buildings; integrate total quality management efforts, manage conflict, change, and development; develop winning bid proposals - and more. The appendices in Engineering Management build on the principles and techniques discussed in the book's 15 chapters, providing management guidelines in such areas as project planning, tracking and control, as well as new business acquisition. A sweeping mandate for improving technology-based organizations through the effective control of their resources, Engineering Management should be required reading for every engineering, technical, product, project, and R&D manager. It will also prove to be an important text for instructors of advanced undergraduate courses in engineering, business, and management.
