Leadership and collaboration

Clear roles and decisions on record for a team that succeeds together.

17people in the department Joakim led, across several feature teams.

What counts is that the team succeeds, not who gets the credit.

Most change depends on people who report to different managers: developers, operations, the business and suppliers. Sometimes engineering needs a leader for a while; sometimes a programme needs those groups to work as one.

Mettle leads from inside the team and makes sure people have the tools and room to decide.

  3. Decisions and risks in writingMettle runs the plan and keeps decisions and risks in writing. At a Swedish financial firm Joakim built the delivery schedule from the dependencies and a capacity model, and put the resource need to the steering group for decision.
