As an 'architect' how much resposibility do you hold for managing people/processes or mentoring/coaching "your" team? (in addition to the techinical expert/oracle, internal consultant and facilitator roles you performed).
- gwbas1c 6y agoProcesses: I had a lot of input to process (and wrote a few,) but I didn't "own" them. What was more important was clearly communicating what the process needed to be, and why. Then the managers held people accountable for following the process. Managing people: I didn't handle things like discipline, interpersonal disputes, pay, performance reviews. Mentoring / coaching: This was mostly of a technical nature. I helped other developers become stronger developers and worked on techniques to help them move through their work more effectively.
