Every Engineering Manager dreams of leaving a mark. But how do you identify the right opportunity, rally the right people, and bring an idea to life? Most initiatives fail because they’re either too ambitious, lack support, or don’t show results quickly. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

In this post, I outline a step-by-step plan to pick the right idea, test it with minimal effort, and scale it into something impactful. That will help you to level up your influence and make lasting contributions.
