Software Engineering Manager Course: The First 90 Days
Starting out as a new Software Engineering Manager can feel overwhelming: You take over a team, a codebase – and a lot of expectations. Suddenly you’re responsible for everything, possibly even without feeling like a real part of the team. That’s why I’ve started a free training course for new Tech IT Leaders and Software Engineering Managers.
In Part 1, “Your First 90 Days”, I’ll show you step by step how to plan your first three months, build trust, and avoid some typical beginner mistakes. The video is based on my experience as a manager and business psychologist, combined with scientific findings and interviews with engineering leaders in practice.
You will get a clear 90-day plan in three phases – from listening and observing to setting common goals and building long-term leadership systems in your team. You can watch the first part of the Software Engineering Manager Training Video Course here:

To make things easier for you, I have created a free eBook with the 90-day checklist as a PDF planning template. It also forms the basis of the video and helps you to keep an overview and approach each stage of your entry into the new role in a structured way.
In addition, when you fill out the short form, you will also receive access to a second eBook by Mirek Stanek (from PracticalEngineering.Management Blog): “The First Ten One-on-One Conversations for IT Leaders: How to Start 1-on-1 Meetings with Your Team Members” - a practical set of conversation guides to build trust and clarity in your team right from the start.
Just leave your name and e-mail address, confirm your e-mail and then you will have access to both documents via a link.
By the way, if you are interested in more tips and tricks for healthy leadership, I recommend taking a look at my introduction to the Echometer tool: People Development Software Tool Echometer.
