The
tech lead on project is probably the most challenging and most impactful role on the whole project. He or she works
at the point where the business meets the technology and has responsibilities
in both areas.
The
tech lead typically has the deepest understanding on the development team of
the goal the business is trying to accomplish with the project, and how the
project accomplishes it. Is the business trying to reduce cost, increase
revenue, or enter new markets? The tech lead has to know.
He
or she works with the business throughout the project to determine how to use
technology to solve the business problem. Sometimes this involves
inventing technical solutions and many times it involves helping the business
make good trade-offs, spot opportunities, and avoid mistakes.
The
tech lead might or might not act as the team architect. This depends on
the particular tech lead and particular project. At a minimum, however,
the tech lead has oversight of the major technical decisions because he or she
is accountable for them.
Most
importantly, the tech lead heads up the development team. He or she works
with the developers to define and estimate tasks, assign tasks, monitor their
completion, and troubleshoot issues along the way. A good tech lead will
understand the strengths and weaknesses of individual team members and
coordinate assignments to create as much team velocity as possible. The
tech lead is also responsible for setting and maintaining the development
team's standards and practices, particularly around testing, estimation, and
continuous integration.
Tech
leads write code themselves, but should also understand that helping the team
be productive is more important than his or her personal development
velocity. This is often a difficult adjustment, especially for a new tech
lead, and is a continual balancing act for all tech leads. In the term
"tech lead," tech comes first, but in practice leadership comes first.
Make it a great day!
