Enhancing Management Using Your Technical Toolset

In this chapter, I’ll cover how the various tools in your technical toolset enhance your ability to manage projects and programs. I’ve discussed each of the key management areas in the first two parts of this book through various lenses and have touched on challenges you face in the technical space. Next, I talked about the technical toolset, which consists of code basics, system design, and architecture landscape design. Now, I’ll cover each of these intersections of the technical toolset and the key management areas and, lastly, explore how the toolset will also help you be a better leader in your organization.

I’ll explore how to enhance management with the technical toolset by doing the following:

• Driving toward clarity
• Resolving conflicts
• Delivering through leadership
