Cross-Functional Management: Engineering and The People Team
Blog post from Checkly
I've analyzed the text and here's a summary of its key points in one paragraph: A cross-functional team approach was instrumental in Checkly's growth and success, particularly when scaling up to three high-performing engineering teams, requiring collaboration with the leader of the people team, Kaylie Boogaerts. Regular 1:1 meetings between the Director of Engineering and Kaylie fostered a strong relationship between engineering and HR, provided coaching, and ensured process alignment. They also tackled side projects together, such as achieving SOC 2 compliance, which required close collaboration across departments. The outcome was improved alignment between people, company culture, and how engineering is managed, resulting in benefits like transparent pay frameworks, well-defined performance frameworks, commitment to diversity and inclusion, high employee retention, and successful scaling of the engineering team.
