Now you can join us remotely!

Our in-person meetup will now be a hybrid event, allowing participants to join remotely. If you are not in Berlin, RSVP to join us remotely.

A link to join the meetup will be provided on Monday.

Our EM Kata will be inspired by the real-life EM interview case. Together, we'll learn and practise an algorithm for solving such cases.

Teams will compete for the best solution. Expect additional feedback from experienced tech leaders after the presentations.

Join us remotely. It will be fun!

❓ What is a Software EM Kata? EM Kata is a safe playground where Engineering Managers* can practice their skills and receive immediate feedback.

* - 👨‍🔬 / 👩‍🔬EM Kata is also beneficial for

• Senior Leaders: Head of Engineering, Engineering Directors, VPs, CTOs - to practice and enhance mentoring and coaching skills.
• Tech/Team Leads: To acquire essential skills for a successful transition to an EM role.
• Senior Software Engineers: To gain insight into EM responsibilities and explore if a leadership career path interests them.
• Agile Coaches: To better understand the challenges faced by EMs and the skills they require, enabling better support for them at work.

Each small team works on identifying the root causes of the challenges by analysing them from different perspectives. By understanding the root causes, each team determines the most efficient strategy to solve them and develops a detailed plan.
