Update on the New Job

Time flies. All the sudden, I'm well into the fourth week of my new job. Here is a quick update.

Changes are difficult, job change is no exception. I have switched job many times in the past, and I found coming in as a dev manager is especially difficult. Here is a list I made for myself before I took the job.

• Technology

1. Code base
2. Infrastructure (system and hardware)
3. Production SLA and monitoring

• Process

1. Development life cycle
2. Deployment process
3. Troubleshooting process
4. Support and escalation
5. Any relevant company policies

• Domain knowledge

1. High level business logic for all key components
2. Product/service in relation to revenue

• My team

1. Skill set
2. Career goals
3. Interests

• Management

1. Who has influence over my team, directly or indirectly

• Peer teams

1. Whom my team need to work with
2. History between my team and peer teams

Checking my progress again the list, I still have a long way to go.
