How to Roadmap with Decisions Rather Than Dates
Many of the "best practices" of engineering leadership have been built around managing dates, timelines and priorities. However, as AI harnesses have improved over the past two years, it's increasingly possible to lead in a new way: running a roadmap that is constrained by decisions rather than dates. In this session, we'll discuss how to move towards operating in a decision-constrained engineering organization.
This session is a part of the Guest Lecture: Leadership in Engineering series. Views expressed are the speakers' own, not Anthropic's.
