Comment on Ask HN: How do you land unpopular changes with your eng teams?

Comments

It's a matter of trust. My teams are mostly self-organizing where they have almost complete autonomy over their work product in true Agile sense. The times that I have to step in to introduce changes, I pitch the benefits and intended outcomes. I'm also quite transparent with my teams. If something must be done for security/compliance-sake, I also share with them my disdain for it but also how the particular change increases our sustainability. They may not like the change but if they see the benefits and outcome, you should be ok.
