My Engineering Manager mind map
Last update: February 20, 2025
Over the years, in my roles as CTO and VP of Engineering, I’ve gathered a wealth of engineering management knowledge. To organize and retain the most valuable insights, I created this mind map, focusing on actionable knowledge that helps me lead teams effectively.
Since this is a mind map, it serves as a collection of key pointers rather than an exhaustive guide.
What You’ll Find Here

How I built it
My goal wasn’t to make this comprehensive, but rather practical and actionable.
Instead of listing every practice, tool, or concept that exists in software engineering, I’ve included only those that I find truly useful for today’s Engineering Managers.
