Abstract
As individual contributors we sharpen our technical chops striving to improve our code and craft. But you may become aware you can do more, and could help others and the team. The path to make that shift isn’t always clear.
In order to support our product roadmap and team I’ve had to learn several skills beyond writing code. I’ve had to practice patience and learn to check my own ego. It’s taken years, and I’m still learning, but the rewards have made it worthwhile.
In this presentation I’ll share some lessons that helped me expand my scope, including recognizing and supporting other’s work and communication styles, working across and between teams, and driving change that lasts. I’ll share real examples and practical takeaways for anyone looking to move forward.
