Managers of HN, how do you track IC progress


Hi Engineering Managers of HN!

I'm looking for tooling—systems, methodologies and software—you use to successfully manage your engineering team.

Strategies I've found helpful:

- One shared google doc per engineer - Regular, short check-ins (can be async) to track progress against team and personal goals - Nudge on opportunities for growth (budget spend, domain ownership, etc)

The wider company is encouraged to use a shared tool (https://www.small-improvements.com), so I'll need to migrate to that but I'm interested in what other tools you've found successful!
