Engineering Management for Beginners: Zero to Hero

The real transition from individual contributor to manager - one-on-ones, feedback, planning, hiring, and handling conflict, for engineers considering a management track.

Prerequisites
Some experience working on an engineering or technical team is helpful but not required.
What You'll Learn
  • Understand what an engineering manager actually does day to day
  • Know the real differences between being an IC and a manager
  • Run effective one-on-ones and give useful feedback
  • Plan sprints and roadmaps realistically
  • Understand the basics of hiring and growing a team
  • Handle common team conflicts and difficult conversations

Engineering Manager, Software Engineering Manager, and Team Lead are consistently open remote roles - and unlike most technical career tracks, there is no formal degree for this one. Most engineering managers were promoted from being a strong individual contributor with zero formal management training.

This course covers the real, practical skills of the job: running effective one-on-ones, giving feedback that actually changes behavior, planning realistic sprints, and navigating the specific conflicts that come up on engineering teams.
