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 from the field.
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 the 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.
