Defining your own role is challenging. Here are 4 questions to ask to help design the right role for you, your team, your peers, and your organization.

Hi Mathias,

I work at a professional services company with about 150 people. We have six practice areas. Each practice helps clients by delivering technical solutions to meet business needs by either implementing infrastructure, security, or custom applications. I currently lead about 30 engineers who support one of those practice areas. I manage our delivery practices, resource/team management, and technical strategy. I come from a software engineering background, and still code when I can.
