Description

In this Dear Melissa segment, Melissa answers subscribers’ questions about working with engineering leadership as a director of product, the idea of moving from a leadership position back to an individual contributor to gain a wider skillset, and whether or not SAFe is the answer for a small product org. 

Q: What should my one-on-one’s with my engineering team look like as director of product? How do I find a partner and not an order-taker? [2:30]

Q: Should we adopt SAFe? Any tips on what I should study up on and propose as a right solution to process and procedure? [6:56]

Q: What advice would you have for someone who is considering stepping out of leadership and back into an IC role to grow their product skillset? [11:01]
