Episode 2: Demystifying agile team roles - The Tech Lead from the Trenches

 

We wanted to discuss the illusive Tech Lead role for some time now. In this episode, we talk about tech leads and how they fit in various company scenarios.

Athina Miliou, Senior Engineering Manager, prev. at Beat, Kostas Kotsokalis, Tech Lead at Snowplow Analytics and Christina Kaskoura, Software Architect / Chapter Leader at Agile Actors, talk through their perspectives on the same subject.

As always, the discussion is in a Q&A format, so it's not theoretical, but instead, we discuss battle-tested tactics and strategies, challenges, and insights.

Please note that the episode is in Greek.
