Taking THE big step into management is hard. While there are tons of resources and courses on how to be a good leader, this session will utilize the critical thinking tools developers use when considering building a custom module, and how that relates to some of the common pitfalls and challenges of becoming a new manager and good leader.

This session is a fun & relatable introduction into developer management roles, but also serves as reminders to people that currently lead teams. We will go through the planning of a module, and how this relates to planning out your team goals and tasks. How unexpected bugs are sure to occur in both cases and how to tackle them. We'll talk about how requirements can shift and cause extra headaches and how to try to anticipate issues of your teams ever changing needs.

At the end we will also talk about the traits that intersect between being a good leader and being a good developer, such as listening skills, perseverance, decisiveness, integrity, and more.

If you know how to create a custom module, you can also learn to become a leader in your organization!
