Management & management techniques; Management: leadership & motivation; Management decision making
A human-centric guide to solving complex problems in engineering management, from sizing teams to handling technical debt.

There's a saying that people don't leave companies, they leave managers. Management is a key part of any organization, yet the discipline is often self-taught and unstructured. Getting to the good solutions for complex management challenges can make the difference between fulfillment and frustration for teams-and, ultimately, between the success and failure of companies.

Will Larson's An Elegant Puzzle focuses on the particular challenges of engineering management-from sizing teams to handling technical debt to performing succession planning-and provides a path to the good solutions. Drawing from his experience at Digg, Uber, and Stripe, Larson has developed a thoughtful approach to engineering management for leaders of all levels at companies of all sizes. An Elegant Puzzle balances structured principles and human-centric thinking to help any leader create more effective and rewarding organizations for engineers to thrive in.
