You assume this is the case everywhere, in many organization managing people and managing technology are separate jobs. Managers have no say in how the architecture looks like, and very little to do with how SDLC looks like (outside maybe getting rid of organizational impediments or suggesting some other approaches to planning)
- mgaunard 5y agoTechnology is actually made by people (who would have thought!) So managing technology means managing people.
- isbvhodnvemrwvn 5y agoThere's a fair bit of difference between being a line manager and a tech lead. You do have a noticeably different dynamic.
- mgaunard 5y agoIn many organizations the line manager is the tech lead (at least at the lower levels of the hierarchy). Having a separate leader and manager is only useful if you aim to create a barrier between technology and the business, which is typically not a very healthy thing if you're a technology-driven company. Nevertheless it's a common practice in places where technology is just a supplier servicing the business. And a tech lead is very much about directing people. You need to have a vision, inspire them, make sure everybody is making progress towards the goal etc. It's hands on and operational, but that's where collaboration between people is most important.
