Here are a few key takeaways from the interview:
1. Assess the team performance
You may be told that an engineering team underperforms, but in reality the expectations may be set too high. Keep an open mind as you examine the people, process and technology aspects of the team.

2. Set realistic velocity goals
You need to set up proper goals for the team. In software engineering, the correct way is to set up time distribution among different aspects of the work, like feature development, maintenance, security and support.

3. The process aspect
Processes cause more problems than people do. Go through your team’s processes, and look for anything that costs time and effort while providing little to no value. They may have been useful at some point, but lost relevance, and it’s up to you to fix it.

4. The people aspect
This is by far the most important and complicated area to figure out. You need to assess skills, attitude, and sometimes you have to get people off the team. You also need to support them and leave them space to work.
And we’re only scratching the surface…
