Building Tech: Building and scaling successful tech organizations: from inception to a unicorn (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "Building Tech: Building and scaling successful tech organizations: from inception to a unicorn (en Inglés)"
Many companies are struggling to build successful tech organizations, which ultimately prevents them from fulfilling their business goals. The primary reason for this problem is that building a successful tech organization doesn't depend on one single area.How you establish, build, and manage your projects, how you build and enhance your product roadmaps, how you communicate and collaborate with the business and the rest of the company, what your staffing and placement plan is, and many other seemingly unrelated areas combine to form the bigger picture of a tech organization. Underestimating any of these areas might jeopardize the success of the whole tech unit and, as a result, the success of the whole company. Throughout my experience of building tech teams and organizations in companies of various sizes, in various industries and geographies, I've seen that building a successful tech organization depends on the success of many different areas that constitute your tech organization.In the book, I review the different aspects of building successful tech organizations that deliver exceptional products and services, as well as how these different areas work together as a whole system constituting your tech team. In the book, I've tried to provide many examples stemming from my own experience, ranging from small startups to large enterprises. In some of the large MNEs, I was managing big units across three continents - Asia, Europe, and the US. In the case of fast-growing startups, I was building their engineering organizations from tens of engineers to hundreds, transforming the small startup into a multi-billion-dollar corporation. In these transformations, I've seen both success and failure, a lot of patterns and a lot of anti-patterns, and I hope that by sharing them in this book, I can help you to avoid many critical mistakes, apply some very successful patterns and learnings, and ultimately build your tech organization and company into a very successful enterprise, delivering on its vision fast, efficiently, and effectively.
