Time Management for CTOs and engineering managers

CTOs are constantly busy aligning to their teams, so it's important to organize the time that they spend in every team with the purpose to be more effective.

Prioritize your tasks

You can use any method to determine what tasks have the most priority. You can use OKRs or even use the information of the sprints to know what needs to be completed that week.

Planning

As you start your week prioritize each task that you have. By knowing what you need to complete in the week, you are more conscientious about the free time you have and how you can use it.

Split up your time

Techniques like pomodoro have become a good way to measure your performance. Divide tasks in little

Automate where possible

Introduce the DevOps Culture in your company, ask your teams for creating pipelines to make deployments or even if you need to generate periodic reports look for a way to automate it through scripts or tools.

Delegate

You need to lose the fear of delegate. Developing trust on your team is key to not only to free your time but also to empower your team.

Even, when you’re going to hire a software developer, you can put your trust in technical leaders to make the interviews.

Conclusion

Methodologies should be your close friend. OKRs, Pomodoro, Devops can help you in your daily work, but mental health definitely will make the difference.
