```
|
||||
2. **Categorize Debt** - Sort debt by severity:
|
||||
- **Critical**: System failure risk, blocking new features
|
||||
- **High**: Slowing development velocity significantly
|
||||
- **Medium**: Accumulating complexity, maintainability issues
|
||||
- **Low**: Nice-to-have refactoring, code cleanup
|
||||
3. **Allocate Capacity** - Distribute engineering time across debt categories:
|
||||
- Critical debt: 40% of engineering capacity
|
||||
- High debt: 25% of engineering capacity
|
||||
- Medium debt: 15% of engineering capacity
|
||||
- Low debt: Ongoing maintenance budget
|
||||
4. **Create Remediation Roadmap** - Prioritize debt items by business impact
|
||||
5. **Reference Architecture Frameworks** - Document decisions using ADR template
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/architecture_decision_records.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. **Communicate Plan** - Present to executive team and engineering org
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output:** Quarterly technical debt reduction plan with allocated resources and clear priorities
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Estimate:** 1-2 weeks for complete assessment and planning
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 2: Engineering Team Scaling & Hiring Plan
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Develop data-driven hiring plan aligned with business growth
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. **Assess Current State** - Document existing team:
|
||||
- Team size by function (frontend, backend, mobile, DevOps, QA)
|
||||
- Current ratios (manager:engineer, senior:mid:junior)
|
||||
- Capacity utilization
|
||||
- Key skill gaps
|
||||
2. **Run Scaling Calculator** - Model team growth scenarios
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
python ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/scripts/team_scaling_calculator.py
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Optimize Ratios** - Maintain healthy team structure:
|
||||
- Manager:Engineer = 1:8 (avoid too many managers)
|
||||
- Senior:Mid:Junior = 3:4:2 (balance experience levels)
|
||||
- Product:Engineering = 1:10 (PM support)
|
||||
- QA:Engineering = 1.5:10 (quality coverage)
|
||||
4. **Reference Engineering Metrics** - Ensure team health indicators support scaling
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/engineering_metrics.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
5. **Create Hiring Roadmap**:
|
||||
- Q1-Q4 hiring targets by role
|
||||
- Interview panel assignments
|
||||
- Onboarding capacity planning
|
||||
- Budget allocation
|
||||
6. **Plan Onboarding** - Scale onboarding capacity with hiring velocity
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output:** 12-month hiring roadmap with quarterly targets, budget requirements, and team structure evolution
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Estimate:** 2-3 weeks for comprehensive planning
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 3: Technology Stack Evaluation & Decision
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Evaluate and select technology vendor/platform using structured framework
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. **Define Requirements** - Document business and technical needs:
|
||||
- Functional requirements
|
||||
- Non-functional requirements (scalability, security, compliance)
|
||||
- Integration needs
|
||||
- Budget constraints
|
||||
- Timeline considerations
|
||||
2. **Reference Evaluation Framework** - Use systematic assessment criteria
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/technology_evaluation_framework.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
3. **Market Research** (Weeks 1-2):
|
||||
- Identify vendor options (3-5 candidates)
|
||||
- Initial feature comparison
|
||||
- Pricing models
|
||||
- Customer references
|
||||
4. **Deep Evaluation** (Weeks 2-4):
|
||||
- Technical POCs with top 2-3 vendors
|
||||
- Security review
|
||||
- Performance testing
|
||||
- Integration testing
|
||||
- Cost modeling (TCO over 3 years)
|
||||
5. **Document Decision** - Create ADR for transparency
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/architecture_decision_records.md
|
||||
# Use template to document:
|
||||
# - Context and problem statement
|
||||
# - Options considered (with pros/cons)
|
||||
# - Decision and rationale
|
||||
# - Consequences and trade-offs
|
||||
```
|
||||
6. **Stakeholder Alignment** - Present recommendation to CEO, CFO, relevant executives
|
||||
7. **Contract Negotiation** - Work with procurement on terms
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output:** Technology vendor selected with documented ADR, contract negotiated, implementation plan ready
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Estimate:** 4-6 weeks from requirements to decision
|
||||
|
||||
**Example:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Complete technology evaluation workflow
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/technology_evaluation_framework.md > evaluation-criteria.txt
|
||||
# Create comparison spreadsheet using criteria
|
||||
# Document final decision in ADR format
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Workflow 4: Engineering Metrics Dashboard Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Implement comprehensive engineering metrics tracking (DORA + custom KPIs)
|
||||
|
||||
**Steps:**
|
||||
1. **Reference Metrics Framework** - Study industry standards
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
cat ../../c-level-advisor/cto-advisor/references/engineering_metrics.md
|
||||
```
|
||||
2. **Select Metrics Categories**:
|
||||
- **DORA Metrics** (industry standard for DevOps performance):
|
||||
- Deployment Frequency: How often deploying to production
|
||||
- Lead Time for Changes: Time from commit to production
|
||||
- Mean Time to Recovery (MTTR): How fast fixing incidents
|
||||
- Change Failure Rate: % of deployments causing failures
|
||||
- **Quality Metrics**:
|
||||
- Test Coverage: % of code covered by tests
|
||||
- Code Review Rate: % of code reviewed before merge
|
||||
- Technical Debt %: Estimated debt vs total codebase
|
||||
- **Team Health Metrics**:
|
||||
- Sprint Velocity: Story points completed per sprint
|
||||
- Unplanned Work: % of capacity on reactive work
|
||||
- On-call Incidents: Number of production incidents
|
||||
- Employee Satisfaction: eNPS, engagement scores
|
||||
3. **Implement Instrumentation**:
|
||||
- Deploy tracking tools (DataDog, Grafana, LinearB)
|
||||
- Configure CI/CD pipeline metrics
|
||||
- Set up incident tracking
|
||||
- Survey team health quarterly
|
||||
4. **Set Target Benchmarks**:
|
||||
- Deployment Frequency: >1/day (elite performers)
|
||||
- Lead Time: <1 day (elite performers)
|
||||
- MTTR: <1 hour (elite performers)
|
||||
- Change Failure Rate: <15% (elite performers)
|
||||
- Test Coverage: >80%
|
||||
- Sprint Velocity: ±10% variance (stable)
|
||||
5. **Create Dashboards**:
|
||||
- Real-time operations dashboard
|
||||
- Weekly team health dashboard
|
||||
- Monthly executive summary
|
||||
- Quarterly board report
|
||||
6. **Establish Review Cadence**:
|
||||
- Daily: Operational metrics (incidents, deployments)
|
||||
- Weekly: Team health (velocity, unplanned work)
|
||||
- Monthly: Trend analysis, goal progress
|
||||
- Quarterly: Strategic review, benchmark comparison
|
||||
|
||||
**Expected Output:** Comprehensive metrics dashboard with DORA metrics, quality indicators, and team health tracking
|
||||
|
||||
**Time Estimate:** 4-6 weeks for implementation and baseline establishment
