Guides for Managers - Software Sustainability Institute

This resource first appeared in issue #94 on 01 Oct 2021 and has tags Technical Leadership: Software Development, Managing A Team: Other

This is a resource I hadn’t seen until Better Scientific Software pointed it out - a collection of guides for research software development managers, including starting and improving a community for your product, recruiting a champion or student developers, funding software and developers, and more. The guides are short and come with links to other resources. They take a “focus on the basics” approach that readers of this newsletter would likely appreciate. Overlapping sets of guides for researchers, managers, and instructors are also available.
