A Miro Template created with Software Engineering Managers in mind, to serve as a place for reflection about their key principles for various contexts.

Use this template as a way to write out unspoken assumptions, beliefs, and principles, to gain clarity on how you operate in different contexts.

The board is most effectively used when it is built up gradually over time, and revisited every few weeks to ensure it reflects recent experiences.

Software Engineering Managers who are preparing for interviews may find this board useful as a reflection tool to gain clarity about themselves and be more confident about how they present themselves in interviews.

Using the board

  • Walk through every section - represented by a colored rectangle - one at a time.

  • If the section heading and the initial prompts on stickies resonate with you, reflect on the provided prompts and add your thoughts. Use the examples in each section for inspiration.

  • Modify section headings to suit your needs, or add new sections to represent other broad areas that aren't covered by the existing sections.

  • Remember: Work on the board over a period of time instead of in one go. This should give you more time and space to reflect and add thoughtful notes answering the prompts.

Hi Miroverse! 👋🏼 I'm currently a Senior Engineering Manager at GitHub, but I've been in the tech industry for 15 years now working across a diverse set of domains (Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial Automation, FinTech and EdTech) and teams building everything from compilers and IDEs, to developer tooling and internal platforms. I've been an Engineering Manager since 2015 and love mentoring and coaching people to be the best versions of themselves, while building great teams.
