Code Leaders ’22 session spotlight–How to grow and scale your engineering organisation

How to grow and scale your engineering organisation

Engineering teams grow for a variety of different reasons. Maybe it’s due to organic growth; Maybe it’s growth due to acquisitions or mergers; Maybe you’re moving into new markets, building new products ….

What worked for a small engineering org (10-20 people), likely wouldn’t scale as you continue to grow your teams.

New questions and challenges start to emerge :

• How do we manage individuals and teams across different locations and time-zones?
• When should we add Engineering leaders, Managers, VPoE etc ?
• Should we have full-stack or domain specific engineers?
• Do I need a dedicated security team?
• How could we scale through partners? What should we keep inhouse vs work with partners?
• How should we balance BAU and Project Work?
• How should backlogs, sprints and work be managed across multiple teams?
• Should we standardise tooling or allow teams to self-manage/self-select?
• When should we add more Scrum Masters, Product Managers and role equivalents?

The intent of this session is to share knowledge based on lived experience to help you with these key questions and your company growth.
