Ask HN: Good books on making successful engineering organizations? Our startup has been growing very fast in the last few yeas, but we're struggling to adapt our organization structure to better suite the needs: * The organization is flat, so a lot of management work is pushed towards engineering, which causes friction. * The product is a giant monolith with poor modularity, which makes growing teams hard and the initial ramping up of new hires longer than it could be. * We're pretending to do agile with daily standups and everything, and it's super weird with a lot of useless communication. I could go on. This is why I'm asking you HN to suggest me any information sources (books, blogposts, articles) on how to create successful engineering organizations, especially in a rapid-grown environment where the moment of "oh shit, we're an actual company with enterprise customers now" has been reached, but the organization hasn't fully adjusted. |
