I have a new project on Health, Monitoring and Guardrails and I need help driving this.

Question

Hi everyone, I have to drive this E4 level project. The project is focused on Health and monitoring. I have to create an Eng plan focused on how we’ll add loggings, build dashboard, alerts, and add tests.

I have a TL to guide me. I’m totally new to this and I need help and wisdom on how to go about this. I want this to be a successful project. Or if you can provide any resources that will be helpful too.

Thank you for your prompt response.

For larger efforts, the main expectation is that you are able to disambiguate what needs to be done.

Right now, we can see from your question you're leaning towards thinking about it as one big thing. You've broken it down to a few sub items, which is a good step forward.

The next steps would be: how should the work be sequenced? Let's start with the first step: there's always a first step in the project. Out of the different things you need to do, what should be done first and why should it be done first? And are you able to break it down into an even smaller action?

That's a lot of questions, so let me start with one to help you move forward: what's stopping you from doing everything right now without needing someone else to carry you? Answer this question and see if you can narrow down on something from that answer that you can immediately do independently.

For general junior => mid level advice, I'd recommend:
