About this collection

Engineering managers do a lot more than plan deployments. In an increasingly competitive market, companies must produce software with the highest quality and lowest cost in the shortest amount of time. Managers not only have to keep track of long-term milestones, but they also need to immediately respond to performance spikes and outages. Use our collection of templates to keep track of software development while working smartly with your team.
