In this episode we present a practical, step-by-step implementation guide for transitioning engineer’s career to the engineering management track. These steps include:

  1. Confirm that the engineer has right motivation.
  2. Confirm with your boss and HR the feasibility of training a new manager.
  3. Tell them that you will announce their career transition to the team.
  4. Talk to the team on 1:1 basis and share the transition. Share why they will be a good fit.
  5. Share the same in the public forum such as staff meeting.
  6. Prepare and share the implementation plan with your direct.
  7. Drive your direct’s guided self-study for 8-9 months, see resources.
  8. Manage their practice for the remainder of the year.
  9. Officially complete transition with HR during company’s official promotion period.
