Peter Handbook

I've been using a list of random things that make it easier to work with me for years. Inspired by Malte Ubl sharing his handbook I wrote down my own version:

Values, Approaches, Principles

• Sharing iterations over long cycles of silence.
• I care deeply about products and the partnership with PO/PM.
• Pragmatic solutions are great; however, sometimes you have to dig in together and take the labor-intensive path.
• A decent playbook will save you from most confusion and disaster during outages or deployments.
• A team that trusts and knows each other can do magic.

Management

• I practice servant leadership. I Support and lead from "behind". I’m here, literally, ping me any time.
• My goal is to help you grow, the direction is defined by you not the company.
• I’m not into micromanagement; tell me if I start doing this.
• You have my full trust; do what feels right and tell me afterward.
• I pass on news as soon as possible.

1on1s

• The 1on1 is your meeting; you set the agenda, I might add topics.
• We start weekly and adjust from there on.
• We can talk projects, but I will aim to cut it short and have a dedicated session.

General

• I have no hidden agenda.
• I value being on time.
• I'm a social person but will also take mental health lunches/breaks on my own.
• I might work/contribute at odd times, this is not what I expect from you.
• Unexpected solutions or theories, shared by me, this is me exploring the problem from other angles, not forcing a solution.
