Having experienced the pain of working somewhere where leadership tried to decree a single "right" method of communication for all developers that didn't jive with us at all, I don't take this for granted anymore.
In that case, management declared that in-person communication was so essential to the agile philosophy that all devs should be ok with being interrupted by anyone and at any time for the purposes of having a face-to-face chat (and WFH was not allowed unless sick). I now work somewhere where I don't see any co-workers in person on most days, and somehow we get tons more work done and stay in contact just fine. Weird how that works...
All of my leadership experience is 1) outside of tech, and 2) not remote oriented. Now that I have some experience as a coder under my belt (~5 years), I'd love to get some training on remote leadership styles and perhaps lead a team and make something useful.
In my team's recent planning of a major multi-month feature, TeamGantt tooling helped us plan, helped our leadership visualize milestones and goals, and helped our developers deliver on time and on budget.
but this comment is still suspiciously smooth
So I disagree: there is Art and Science to, well, most things; including leading projects.
