Finder Response
2yThank you for your review. We are not sure that it this one is for Finder as we do not have any software developers in New Zealand.
As our CTO, I personally find micro management to be incredibly disempowering and it ultimately leads to poorer quality outcomes. I’m not a fan. I prefer instead to align on what our goals are and strive to let squads achieve them as autonomously as possible. We agree on the outcomes and are flexible on the process to get there and not the other way around.
Therefore, while the CPO and I are ultimately accountable for delivery, season planning, sprint planning, retrospectives, and other prioritisation conversations are the responsibility of the engineering lead, principal engineer, product manager and designer of the group in service to the delivery of their goals.
