As a Head of Development, you want to make sure that the team accurately delivers the required solution, within the agreed timescale, velocity and cost. Leadership in the technology sector is not just about solving current problems. A modern leader must be able to build a strong and capable team that can implement strategic initiatives and take the business to the next level. This means not only recruiting talented specialists, but also creating conditions for their development, motivation and effective work.
As a Chief Technology Officer, you would like to build an environment where all technical delivery functions are balanced, competent and work collaboratively, between in-house and outsourced resources. You want to balance the scale of engineering pools between permanent staff and those needed, in the short term, to deliver specific projects, innovation or strategic goals.
As a Product Owner, you expect the delivery function to be scalable, fully onboard with the product development goals, and having the skills and expertise necessary for implementation of the product roadmap.
As a leader who is responsible for iterative delivery of technology products, you have probably been in a situation when all teams depend on a single DevOps engineer to push that next release or service pack to production.
Perhaps you have also experienced the impossible dilemma of allocating your two experienced data scientists between six projects? Knowing that each of these projects are of a similar priority and each competes for these engineers’ time and contribution. You have probably experienced the ‘Lose/Lose’ situation, knowing that four of the six projects could or will inevitably be delayed, putting an entire roadmap at risk.
Maybe coverage of automated tests remains well below your target, because the Test Automation Engineer vacancy has still not been filled, after four months, to the frustration of developers and overload of the manual QA team?
Finally, maybe your knowledgeable and expensive senior developers are constantly diverted to resolve minor support issues, taking them away from delivering critical and strategic project work.
