About the course

The Tech Lead role is not a standardised role and this often leads to confusion, lack of clarity in regards to your responsibilities as a Tech Lead.

In this course we will delve into several key areas:

The Tech Lead's Role & Common Responsibilities: Understanding how a Tech Lead operates in the middle of development teams, stakeholders, and project requirements. Identifying the typical duties you will encounter, from overseeing technical progress to ensuring team cohesion.

Coding Expectations: Balancing hands-on coding with leadership responsibilities and determining how much time to dedicate to each.

Unwritten and Unmeasurable Responsibilities: Recognizing the subtle, yet crucial, aspects of the role that are not always documented and are vital to success.

The Importance of Conversations: Engaging in conversation to gain clarity on your role and responsibilities, and converting expectations into clear agreements.

By the end of this course, you will have a thorough understanding of what it means to be a Tech Lead and be equipped with the knowledge and the actions required to have clear responsibilities. I look forward to guiding you on this journey and contributing to you becoming a confident and effective Tech Lead.

About the trainer

My name is Andra Popa and I’ve worked for 15 years in Software Development having different roles, from Software Engineer to Tech Lead to Project Manager. This is what I studied, this is what I knew and this is what I was good at.

I’ve always been a big fan of self-development and I’ve participated in many programs to grow in communication, leadership, and teamwork. In one of the programs I had the opportunity to coach other participants and I felt in love with coaching and guiding others.
