A direction to keep the project as a whole

The development of a platform requires different skills: interfaces, data, connectors, processing, hosting and business uses. Technical management gives consistency to these interventions and links decisions to expected operation.

We define the scope with business contacts, identify dependencies and organize the steps. Developers and specialists have a common context to understand what they are building and how their contributions fit together.

Manage developers and coordinate specialists

Patrice Salib's career path includes the integration of internal developers and the coordination of independents specialized in the Reymann collaborative platform project. The overhaul projects in 2014 and engine upgrades in 2018 extend this driving experience.

Coordination concerns the distribution of interventions, interfaces between components, blocking points and verifications with production. Discussions with developers must result in understandable decisions and results that users can evaluate.

Connecting the technical team to the teams that produce

In a company of more than 100 people like Reymann, the tools were in contact with graphic designers, image teams, photoengraving, traffic and customer contacts. The technical choices had to take into account this organization and manufacturing deadlines.

This experience provides practice in dialogue between professions: specifying a request, understanding its urgency, examining its impact on the other stages and preparing changes with the people concerned.

Organize work with offshore partners

Management goes beyond software development. The course also includes research, training and coordination of offshore partners for images and layout. Instructions, resources, schedules and feedback must give continuity to distributed work.

Scheduling, queues, and release management connect teams. Preparing submissions, identifying corrections and transmitting practices are as important as transferring files.

Lead developments and support commissioning

A redesign may involve an interface, engine, database or several services at a time. We are preparing the recovery steps and the checks necessary to ensure that developments reach a workable path.

The recipe, user support and production monitoring extend the management. The objective is to give teams a coherent solution, clear responsibilities and useful information to develop it.

Understanding the exchanges

Manage developers and project dependencies.

The technical management role brings together business teams, developers and specialists to maintain consistency from framing to production.
