Project Management for Software Engineers

Kevin Sookocheff's comprehensive guide helping software engineers understand and apply project management principles. Covers the fundamental tension between engineering's desire for perfect technical solutions and project management's focus on timely delivery within constraints. Key topics include breaking down complex projects into manageable tasks, estimating effort and managing uncertainty, stakeholder communication and expectation management, risk identification and mitigation strategies, and balancing technical excellence with business needs. The guide provides practical frameworks for engineers transitioning to lead roles, including techniques for running effective meetings, creating project documentation, tracking progress without micromanaging, and handling scope changes. Emphasizes that good project management isn't about rigid processes but rather creating clarity, maintaining momentum, and enabling teams to deliver value consistently. Perfect for engineers taking on their first project lead role or wanting to understand the project management perspective.
