The role of a software engineer goes well beyond writing code. In many companies, large or small, engineers often need to understand unfamiliar business rules, and then coordinate with multiple groups to ship software within a tight schedule. Although the skills required to perform this job effectively can be hidden within one's years of experience, learning from mistakes, peer guidance, and available resources, are critical to success.
This book summarizes the skills and practices effective engineers should leverage to excel at their job. A chapter is dedicated to each of the four main pillars that form a successful engineering career: Self-Management, Technical Discipline, Risk Management, and Strategic Teamwork. Topics covered within each pillar include insights and tips on how to enhance your career simply by making small changes in the way you work.
Based on a collection of mentorship sessions from author Filipe Ximenes, Strategic Software Engineering will empower you to maximize the impact of your work.

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
