congratulations you're a tech lead now
what an exciting opportunity as a tech
lead you've now got more autonomy and
influence over your team's direction but
you're also wearing a lot of new hats
you're also a systems architect a
business analyst a coach a project
planner and of course a software
engineer if you're a new tech lead and
all of those hats are starting to feel
just a little bit heavy have no fear in
this video i'm sharing three tips for
tech lead success hey everyone it's anna
from clockwise your time management
coach here to help you make time for
what matters stepping into the tech lead
role is both exciting and a little
overwhelming a tech lead is a project
planner being a project manager is a big
part of your job now you've got to think
about things like how to prioritize work
who should be working on what and how to
maximize your team's work in parallel
plus you're reporting what's going on
with your team to other parts of the
organization so the ability to break
down highly technical info is essential
so
how can you be a great project planner
first start by following engineering
leaders known for stellar project
management chelsea troy and the
clockwise blog are great sources for
high quality advice look down in the
description below for links to each of
those awesome resources do your internal
research find out where the strategy
documentation lives which internal
leaders you need to get up to speed with
and which stakeholders you need to know
so you can get to know them better
finally spend some time familiarizing
yourself with operationally defined
system requirements so you can
contribute meaningfully to discussions
remember
no one is expecting you to know
everything about everything so don't be
afraid to ask questions the next lead
all tech leads step into whether they
realize it or not is coach get ready
because your new tech lead role requires
a lot more communication than your time
as an individual contributor influencing
persuading coaching advising motivating
delegating and mediating are all parts
of your job so how can you be a great
coach when it comes to working with
people empathy is your friend and ego is
your enemy be open to verbal and
non-verbal feedback on your
communication style and try to put
yourself in the other person's shoes
when you're communicating don't be
afraid to ask questions and over explain
and don't be afraid to have
conversations with your team that go
beyond work get to know your team and
stakeholders ask about their kids or
their favorite restaurants these kinds
of conversations are essential for
building the rapport you need to be a
strong tech lead and of course a tech
lead is a software engineer unlike an
engineering manager who may not do any
more coding as a tech lead you've still
got a code there are only so many hours
of the day so when you've got new
responsibilities on your plate you've
got to carve out time to wear all the
hats get ready to balance your
individual contributions with the
overall productivity of your team so how
much time should a tech lead actually
spend coding well according to the
geek's guide to leading teams a
technical lead should only spend about
30 percent of their time coding the
problem whenever you do sit down to code
you've got a lot of interruptions coming
your way so what can you do it's time to
accept that as a tech lead you just
can't code as much as you did when you
were an individual contributor instead
of evaluating yourself on how much code
you write or how good your code is shift
your focus to your team does your team
understand what's going on in the
company do you have a road map and are
you sticking to it are you aware of any
skill gaps on your team and have you
flagged your manager rather than
mourning the loss of your focused time
spent coding work on opening up more
focus time for your team luckily
clockwise can help with that by creating
more uninterrupted time for you and your
team there's a link down in the
description below so you can get started
with clockwise today for free trying out
a tech lead role is a great way to see
whether management is for you and it's a
great way to gain more influence on your
team's direction but the role isn't
without its challenges the faster you
let go of needing to know everything
already the faster you can learn
everything you need to know do you know
