The role of engineering management:
- Increase confidence
- Reduce complexity
- Manage expectations
Imho that's it. 🛠

Increase confidence:
Confidence not in the "hell we are amazing" sense.
- Ensure your team can make decisions (know what + why)
- Tooling (CI&CD, linters, complexity scoring, etc)
- Notes, comments, documentation
- People, their life and their careers
- Long term vision

Reduce complexity:
Complexity can be in the literal sense in code but also in an organizational structure.
The less complexity the faster people can work.
Your job is to have a plan in place to reduce it step by step. Abstract/isolate/shield it where you can't remove it.

Manage expectations:
- What, why, when, who, sometimes how
- Internally but also externally
- This involves product/market-needs but also internal expectations/stress/requirements/etc
Eg your team is never "too slow". You are maybe just bad in priority or expectation management
