GAP ANALYSIS:
While we uncovered many resources on being an effective manager in government (and how to evaluate a managers’ performance), we could not find materials that specifically address managing technical teams. This includes resources on managing technologists transitioning from industry. We also could not find resources on connecting teams across disciplines – for example, helping tech teams collaborate effectively with non-technical ones.
