There is no doubt engineering is complex and companies are trying to find the ways to manage their engineering teams properly. Engineering management brings together the technological problem-solving ability of engineering and the organizational, administrative, and planning abilities of management.

During this TechLunch we will consider this topic from the different edges from different points of view. For this, we are happy to welcome 3 experienced experts for this TechLunch from Criteo, FutureLearn and Algolia, and each of them will talk for 15 mins about their practices and insides of working with their mobile squads.

This time Melinda will talk about how you can help level up your developers by using competencies and career development frameworks, what types of processes you can introduce to support personal development and how developers should be using opportunities like these to get a better understanding of what skills they should focus on.
