Craftsmanship is an attitude, not a skillarmincoralic
Craftsmanship is an attitude, not a skill. It takes 10,000 hours to master something, and a craftsman puts their heart into their work. For the author, personal mindset, work ethic, and vision matter more than processes because life is too short for negativity, politics, and overkill of processes. Therefore, the author pledges to do as little as necessary to achieve as much as possible and make work simple, while experimenting with new technologies and techniques to improve skills and make a positive impact.
This document provides an overview of preparing for and succeeding in a technical interview process. It discusses finding job openings, the typical interview stages including phone screens and in-person interviews, common technical interview questions, and tips for each part of the process. The key advice is to practice coding problems daily, focus on breaking problems down step-by-step, ask clarifying questions, and follow up after interviews by thanking interviewers.
Scrum is a framework for managing complex work that emphasizes iterative development, daily self-organization, and accountability. It consists of roles like the Product Owner, Scrum Master, and team. The team works in short cycles called sprints that involve sprint planning, daily standups, a review, and retrospective. The goal is to deliver value continuously through working software and transparency using artifacts like the product and sprint backlogs.
The document describes the various roles and responsibilities of a Scrum Master. It discusses that a Scrum Master acts as a facilitator by facilitating meetings, enhancing communication within the team, and creating a safe space. A Scrum Master also acts as a coach by being approachable, being an active listener, asking powerful questions, and having one-on-ones. Additionally, a Scrum Master acts as a trainer by providing trainings for teams, products, and the overall organization on topics like Agile, user stories, and facilitation.

The document describes how a manager can become overwhelmed ("man-snowflake") if they take on too many responsibilities as their team grows. As the manager's initial project and team expand, they spend more and more time on management, documentation, customer requirements, and automation. Eventually the manager disappears, unable to properly handle all the demands on their time. To prevent this, the document suggests delegating some responsibilities like documents, customer relationships, and automation tools to other team members. It also recommends establishing a team lead and automation team to help share the workload and allow the team to continue growing in a sustainable way.
1. The document discusses how to build quality-oriented software products through effective quality assurance. It addresses questions around bringing up quality, optimizing testing, and using QA to generate new ideas.
2. Quality cannot be bought but must be developed and maintained diligently. For products, quality is as important as other aspects in meeting customer expectations.
3. The document recommends using agile methodologies, brainstorming, test automation, tools like wikis and blogs, and informal practices to continuously optimize processes and generate new ideas to build quality.

What Are the Road Mapping Essentials by former Capital One PMProduct School
Product road mapping is an art, one that requires a strong pulse on the state of the business, your customers and stakeholders. Road maps are meant to provide a clear path towards reaching the business objectives giving transparency and predictability to anyone involved on the team. But how often have you heard “Hey, we are agile, we don’t need a roadmap”; or the opposite “Hey, this feature was on the roadmap, but why haven’t you delivered?”.
In this session, Angela Govila, former Product Manager at Capital One, talked about how to handle both of these situations and everything in between, by diving deep into the basics of how to conduct road mapping sessions.

The document summarizes lessons learned from rebuilding a legacy system that took much longer than originally estimated. The key lessons are to understand how existing users interact with a legacy system before making changes, ensure proper scoping by asking all relevant questions, involve subject matter experts in estimating tasks, have a project plan but recognize that different methods may work better than waterfall or agile for certain projects, and focus on the needs of the project team.
1. The document outlines 10 things that make a good project manager great, including following a process, asking for a mentor, surrounding oneself with tools, using templates to save time, planning, communicating the plan with stakeholders, managing and tracking the project, managing issues and risks, creating progress reports, and delivering the final product.
2. Key aspects include following an established project management process, seeking a mentor for advice and guidance, using software and templates to efficiently plan and manage projects, creating detailed plans and getting stakeholder approval, regularly tracking progress and addressing any issues, providing updates on status, and completing the project deliverables.
3. Effective project managers plan thoroughly, communicate well with stakeholders, monitor progress closely and solve

How do you know your Solution will make an Impact? - Björn Brynjar JonssonJAXLondon2014
The document discusses how to ensure a software solution will have impact. It recommends:
1. Measuring velocity (how fast ideas can be turned into working software) and impact (how behavior changes).
2. Finding the right problem to solve before proposing solutions. Decrypt what to build by understanding the problem.
3. Using impact maps to visualize scope, assumptions and how the solution may change behavior, focusing development on what drives results.
The overall message is that the ability to ensure impact is limited, but these practices can help maximize the chances of building something useful.
Matt Hubbard, FullContact - Denver Startup Week 2016
Product Management is a nebulous and challenging career path, but Product Management at a startup comes with a host of additional demands. How do you stay focused on your customers, features, and roadmap when you are helping out with Project Management, Design, Marketing, Customer Support, and other related functions? How do you employ cheap or free tools to achieve the same results as larger companies with big budgets for user testing, design, and marketing? How do you negotiate with passionate founders who are still learning to let go of the product vision and roadmap? During this session, we’ll show you how.

Feeling anxious about your technical interviewSarah Walsh
The document provides tips for preparing for and succeeding in a technical interview test. It advises focusing on preparation by reviewing topics in your CV and the job description. During the test, communicate with the interviewer by asking questions, break problems down into simple parts, and demonstrate a logical thought process even if you don't have a fully correct solution. Technical tests evaluate problem solving skills, technical knowledge, coding ability, and creativity in the required skills.
Another talk I gave in Dakar in my "Back to Basics" series. We discuss what are the challenges when growing the technical teams in an agency context. I also included a practical example for a quickly-growing startup.

Baby steps and why it's more important than your code skillsRamon Victor
"In this talk I'd like to explain why many startups fail when trying to build a product with fancy code and a "scalable" solution before learning what business/design needs they're trying to solve. Actually, it's not only for startups, it's also for you, as designer or developer. Why we should understand our ideas is more likely to fail than succeed? This is for sure much more important than learning Material Design, ReactJS or any other buzzword of our field."

4. INTRO
“The goal of teaching is to pass on what we know
faster than we learned it”
1. Get out of the way.
2. It’s your job to answer questions.
3. Answer questions with process.
4. Take out the garbage.
5. GET OUT OF THE WAY
The first and best piece of advice I got.
You will block on every time-sensitive technical task you take on.
You need to get out of the way and let your engineers do their
work.
Good news! You can now build those fun non-critical tools for your
team on your down time.
You will feel unproductive but it’s not your job to just write code
anymore.
What should you be doing instead?
6. ANSWER QUESTIONS LIKE IT’S YOUR JOB
Hint: It is your job.
You need to be able to answer or find the answer to
any question from your technical team.
And answer in context of how it relates to tech,
staffing, product, sales, marketing, QA, etc.
This means you’re going to have to go to “meetings
about spreadsheets” to know what going on across
the company.
How can you reduce the number of question and get
back to your sweet sweet code?
7. LET QUESTIONS DRIVE PROCESS
Bad news, you’re going to start talking like a manager.
When questions arise think about why they needed to be asked in
the first place?
Why wasn’t this written down?
Why wasn’t this already communicated?
Why is this being done in different ways?
Can someone take the lead on this?
You now get to engineer process instead of just code.
8. TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE
Taking out the garbage is a bummer. A house full of
garbage is worse.
Schedule (and stick to) doing recurring tasks that are
only manageable if doing regularly.
Going through your issue backlog and PRs.
Planning your sprints.
Meet with other teams and give updates
Checking in with your developers and giving
feedback.
