How to decide on engineering guardrails

5 minutes

Learn how to strategically choose and implement effective engineering guardrails for streamlined development and improved team efficiency.

Guardrails help people avoid dangerous situations in real life. Similarly, in any significantly complex software system, good engineering guardrails can keep people on a safe path, and reduce the cognitive complexity of day-to-day work. From coding and building through testing and release, guardrails will exist as rules, standards, and best practices related to the development process. 

Ask your team what their biggest pain points are

As a leader, instead of deciding what engineering guardrails to implement on your own, you should talk to your team first.
