    And yet, managerial tasks are not limited to the need not to drown yourself and grow a shift (this was alsoseveral reports on HighLoad ++).

    At the end of this week, leaders at different levels will discuss who is to blame and what to do, as part of TeamLead Conf . For two days in two streams you can discuss anything, let's see what is in the program and if there is something wrong.

    They may seem simple at first glance, but they forget about them by creating code .... "

    Ivan Mikheev from AGIMA does not experience any illusions, not at the expense of the fact that during the report he will be able to reveal all the intricacies of the profession, but he is going to set out the minimum knowledge he needs.

    Not about their own skills, but about the effectiveness of the work of controlled programmers will be a report by Alexander Kiselev and Sergey Semenov from GitLean. They believe ,

    Task planning and assessment, retrospective

It seems to estimate in the mind, multiply by two and add two weeks, not his option - in the theses there are as many as 10 (ten !!) points, including the participation of testers, product experts, and even anyone else.



    Pyotr Markov from TsIANA, in turn, will tell about the Zen-style retrospective technique : how to properly prepare for a retrospective, how to learn the most important lessons, how not to drop the team spirit, and most importantly - how to take advantage of the problems found and prevent them from happening again.

    The program will be closed by Evgenia Golevafrom Lamoda, where she managed to organize the process so that the team lead dragged the basic principles of feedback into their skills, supposedly without blood and coercion. Her report is for those who are aware of the value and importance of a positive and constructive feedback from team leaders. It is about how to create an environment in which this skill develops and consolidates, what resistance you can encounter along the way, and under what sauce it is most delicious to present the main ideas of feedback to team leaders.
