Hi, I started working on E4 level scope, and for some projects, the TL can tell me to create the Eng Plan for Execution Independently. How can I do this with certainty and confidence without missing any case/scenario during the creation of the ENG Plan?
Also, our team roadmapping is upcoming, how can I contribute to the team roadmap as an E4?
I want to increase my impact and contribution overall.
Thank you!
For creating the engineering plan, I recommend this: System Design Masterclass: Shipping Real Features To Production
If this is too heavy (likely given that you are E3), they are probably looking for the more local version which is having very detailed tasks. Here's an example from the code quality course: https://www.jointaro.com/course/level-up-your-code-quality-as-a-software-engineer/lay-out-the-plan/

My expectation for an E4 in those meetings is to have some sort of opinion. I don't expect them to drive any part of those meetings, but if they are a leading voice on certain projects, that's obviously nice. 2 things to have an opinion on:
On the roadmap topic, one way to contribute at an E4 (mid-level) level:
You can likely do some legwork ahead of the roadmap meeting by researching more about the proposed projects.
