If you have done it, could share how? Were you 80% coding 20% managing?

  Right now I’m managing a team of 10, and still find the time to do some coding. Any more than 10 I need to charge members to be team leaders to take burden off when I know it is too much, If you manage through stewardship, explain tasks and expectations, trust your report will make the right decisions. Then it’s mostly monitor allowing people good at their jobs to do their job. Then constant conversations individually, stand ups are great, but one on one as well every day. I still find time to take ease to put down tasks. However most of my time is designing and grooming tasks, directing traffic, and unblocking my development team. The job of a manager is to get out of the teams way, and to stay on top of roadblocks to keep all the lanes open. I also take responsiblity for watching out for process/workflow improvements to always keep improving, faster, better, less effort as that means more work done in less time and resource strain.
