Guide and templates
Coming Soon: From Coder to Leader
The first 90 days as a new tech lead or engineering manager: a practical plan that puts people first.
You were promoted because you write great code. Now you have to move people, and that is a different dance. This guide helps new tech leads and engineering managers avoid the typical first-time disappointments: disengaged co-workers, unhappy stakeholders, and losing control of scope and schedule.
The plan follows the three moments of touch. Spend days 1–30 listening and understanding your team and stakeholders, then days 31–60 on clear tickets, delegation and code reviews that invite rather than push. Days 61–90 cover retrospectives, follow-up and letting your team find better solutions than yours.
