Point D

Thanks for coming to this safe place! You are courageous for thinking about options to help you and your organization.

You may be here because:

• You need someone you can trust to give you some breathing room - You may need some extra cycles on a project or a second perspective. Or you know you need to grow to fill your current role and need some mentoring or coaching (everyone needs this, and they're afraid to talk about it).
• You're doing the right things, but they aren't working - Your teams or leaders aren't listening. Maybe you're telling them how to solve problems but they refuse to try or they are missing the point of code reviews. Maybe they're rolling out bugs to customers or working features but not understanding where the customer is coming from.
• You're not sure what you should be doing - What does an engineering manager do anyway? What things should I be spending my time on, or not? Should you be coding? What if you don't know what to do?
• You're at the end of your rope - You go to work every day and fight fires. You wish you didn't have to save the team from themselves. You keep getting pulled into urgent issues, angry developers, testers telling you everything's buggy, and operations telling you the code is broken. On top of all of this, your team leads and product owners aren't helping each other out.

Many people have been where you are. No one talks about it. Let tools and processes to help you come up for air. You can and will get unstuck from the trap of "we've always done it this way." You can handle this, and PointD can help.

PointD has helped individuals and companies work through these challenges by focusing on their team, how they work together, and using this as a gear to drive the rest of the organization. With over 20 years of experience building, growing, and improving teams both in organizations and out. These problems are common and you're taking the first step now!
