Remote Engineering Management: Managing an Engineering Team in a Remote-First World

Book Description

Managing an engineering team is hard, managing a remote engineering team is even harder―but dedicating effort to setting up a proper remote-first environment will allow for your team to thrive. This book breaks down the most important processes in engineering teams, and demonstrates how to make them work effectively in a remote organization.

How do you organize code deployments, onboard new hires, give feedback, and stay up to date with your team when you can’t see each other in person every day? This book looks at how building connections and working together to solve problems comes naturally when a team is co-located, but can feel almost impossible when everyone is working remotely and communicating over video calls and messages.

Whether you’re an experienced engineering manager or just getting started, you’ll learn why copying in-office practices to the remote office doesn’t work, the communication issues behind the scenes you may not even realize are happening, and how to make every aspect of remote work better for your team. From learning about how to remove new remote-specific biases from your interview process, to understanding what the team really thinks about those daily status update meetings, this book will be your guide in creating the best and most inclusive version of your engineering team.

What You’ll Learn

• Recognize where current remote processes are falling short
• Build up best practices to lead a team with a people-first and empathetic approach
• Communicate effectively in a remote organization

Who This Book is For

Engineering managers, team leads, directors, and those hoping to move into a lead role, will get the most value out of the book. Many of the learnings around communication will be applicable to any position in an organization, but there’s a focus on processes and job duties most relevant to engineers.

书名：Remote Engineering Management: Managing an Engineering Team in a Remote-First World

管理工程团队是困难的，管理远程工程团队更难-但致力于建立适当的远程优先环境将使您的团队蓬勃发展。这本书分解了工程团队中最重要的流程，并演示了如何让他们在远程组织中有效地工作。

当你们不能每天面对面时，如何组织代码部署、加入新员工、提供反馈并与您的团队保持最新消息？这本书介绍了如何建立联系并共同解决问题，当团队位于同一地点时，这是很自然的，但当每个人都在远程工作并通过视频电话和消息进行交流时，可能会感到几乎不可能。

无论您是经验丰富的工程经理还是刚刚入门，您都将了解为什么将办公室内的工作实践复制到远程办公室不起作用，您可能甚至没有意识到幕后的通信问题正在发生，以及如何让远程工作的方方面面更好地为您的团队服务。从学习如何从面试过程中消除新的远程特定偏见，到了解团队对每日状态更新会议的真实想法，这本书将成为您创建最佳和最具包容性的工程团队版本的指南。

你会学到什么

• 识别当前远程进程的不足之处
• 建立最佳实践，以以人为本和同理心来领导团队
• 在远程组织中高效通信

这本书是为谁写的

工程经理、团队领导、总监和那些希望进入领导角色的人，将从书中获得最大的价值。许多关于沟通的知识将适用于组织中的任何职位，但重点是与工程师最相关的流程和工作职责。
