In this post, we’ll talk about how deployment management has changed, how the line between deployment and release management has become wider, and what you should drive in order to continue growth and improvement in this space.

Technical leadership combines leadership skills with technical expertise to not only further and enhance your own technical abilities but also help develop the team around you to attain technical excellence.

Though most of the focus in tech revolves around technical skills, soft skills can significantly impact your career. It’s not just what you know but how you work with others that makes a big difference.

As a programmer, your job is complex and challenging every day. Your brain constantly races to solve problems, identify patterns, and find solutions faster.

As you increase your seniority, part of your impact and performance often includes mentoring and developing others. Or perhaps you see a need to help develop your team, so you’ll find opportunities and needs to mentor other software developers.

Across most industries this year, leaders in all functions are working through difficult prioritization and budget justification exercises. Spending that was previously approved with minimal scrutiny is now being put under the microscope by finance and procurement teams.

Now they’re attempting to pull it off with more limited resources.
