Lean foundations for tech leaders

Lean foundations for tech leaders

Product information

Build autonomous, high-performing teams through lean practices. No micromanagement needed.

Bootcamp

Monday morning again. You've barely logged in and already, notifications are pinging from every direction. Your team members ask for guidance on critical decisions, while your bosses push for updates and results. Between gatekeeping to maintain quality and being present for your team without micromanaging, you often feel on the brink of burnout. Finding that sweet spot between being supportive and keeping your own head above water feels almost impossible.

Now imagine a different reality. Your team is autonomous, making quality decisions quickly and confidently, freeing up your bandwidth to focus on what matters. Your leadership trusts you implicitly, knowing you're guiding your engineers to new heights of performance. You lead without tension, strike the perfect balance between seriousness and ease, and calmly anticipate evolutions that propel your team forward.

Welcome to our training on the lean fundamentals for engineering leaders. Along your journey to become a more effective leader, you will discover how to plan as a team without headaches and complex estimates, how the agile kanban was never a true kanban system that develops the autonomy of your team members, how to solve quality problems for good, lead your team to new horizons, and earn true respect from your peers and bosses. This course has been developed by lean and tech experts who have been there before, and we hope that you are excited to join us on this journey!
