Episode notes

How New Engineering Managers Communicate With Executives and Other Teams teaches technical leaders how to translate engineering work into language that business leaders and cross-functional partners can understand.

Executives usually do not need implementation detail. They need to know whether the work is on track, what risks could affect the business, what trade-offs are required, and where leadership support is needed.

This episode shows how to communicate engineering priorities in terms of outcomes, timelines, risk, revenue, and customer impact. You will also learn how to negotiate scope with product teams, advocate for resources, protect engineers from unnecessary organizational noise, and share difficult information without spreading panic.

How New Engineering Managers Communicate With Executives and Other Teams is part of From Code to People, produced for the Ultamize Personal Development Podcast Network.
