I’m the manager of a medium size (~10) software engineering team and recently decided to hone my team and project management skills by supplementing my personal and professional experience with books on the subject.
I’m currently reading “Become an effective software engineering manager” by J. Stanier and this rocks. It’s filled with practical actionable items on which you can see direct results and it avoids digging too much into useless theory to focus on being a supportive and productive manager.
For those who’ve read that book (or anyone else with an idea on the subject), do you have a recommendation for something similar but aimed at project management (organization of a project, tasks, deadlines, assignment, documentation, etc) for software engineering ?
We do have a PM team but they only tackle really large projects which leaves 70% of other projects managed by the team manager. So I’m often in the situation where I have to steer a whole process from beginning to end.
Please note, I’m only looking up for resources in order to get ideas and opinions on how to do my job better. I have a process already for people and project management, but I want to challenge it to see what I can do better.
Thanks in advance
