I have the pleasure to work with clients from Mumbai to San Francisco, and from Oslo to Cape Town. And this has recently provided me with telling insights about how their companies plan to react to the upcoming macroeconomic crisis. To begin with, not all regions of the world have been hit the same way, and some haven’t been hit yet.
So far so (not) good, but the more interesting question is how the situation for us as engineering/platform teams change.
It’s helpful to recall what the key value drivers for engineering and general management are, especially in times of crisis.
