A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt. Theres a saying that people dont leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured.

Will Larsons 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 specifications:Dimensions: 236 x 158Author: Will LarsonCover type: HardcoverPublishing Year: 2019Publishing Month: 5Pages: 288Language: EnglishPublisher: Stripe PressWeight: 721 g
