About the Book
Many engineering managers struggle with role definitions. Either they don't have any, and there is lots of uncertainty within their team, or they have filled out a template from HR that doesn't help them with their work. "Engineering Role Descriptions" helps you write role descriptions and shows you how and where to use them (everywhere!)
