Comment on Ask HN: Starting as a techlead in a non tech org: What should I watch out for?

Comments

People will perhaps not be used to using JIRA and have no idea about processes like Scrum sprints and the purposes of demos and retrospectives. They could try to micromanage your work and make top down decisions with little autonomy and set your deadlines without asking you first. I would suggest you try to educate them about development best practices including some degree of freedom/trust for developer teams and the value of feedback loops and some involvement from the business and good requirements.

Good luck!
