Beschreibung
The role of a software engineer goes well beyond writing code. In many companies, large or small, engineers often need to understand unfamiliar business rules, and then coordinate with multiple groups to ship software within a tight schedule. Although the skills required to perform this job effectively can be hidden within one's years of experience, learning from mistakes, peer guidance, and available resources, are critical to success. This book summarizes the skills and practices effective engineers should leverage to excel at their job. A chapter is dedicated to each of the four main pillars that form a successful engineering career: Self-Management, Technical Discipline, Risk Management, and Strategic Teamwork. Topics covered within each pillar include insights and tips on how to enhance your career simply by making small changes in the way you work. Based on a collection of mentorship sessions from author Filipe Ximenes, Strategic Software Engineering will empower you to maximize the impact of your work. What You Will Learn Master skills beyond writing code to achieve career goals. Make your dayto day work more impactful through meaningful changes. Identify, mitigate, and manage risk. Leverage teamwork and collaboration to build successful products. Who This Book Is For Midlevel engineers looking to make the jump to senior roles, as well as experienced engineers and managers who are looking to bolster their careers
