Mob and Pear, or Mob Is Better, but Pear Is All Right Too
The main book I always recommend every single engineering manager to read is Akoff's best writings on management. And what main thing I got from his books is that we do not manage people, we manage systems. The team is the smallest unit, the smallest system we manage. So you have just one task or one problem that whole team is working on. You don't need to play this strange Tetris planning where you try to figure out when the front end developer is going to finish their task so that the backend developer can integrate and vice versa. If we have Mob programming team programming in Mob setting, you have usually one piece flow.
