Purchase options and add-ons

The CTO Toolbox is a collection of resources, methodologies, frameworks and tools I use or have used in my life as a Chief Technical Officer or Technology leader. They don't necesarily work in isolation within the engineering team, or in individual teams. They require collective agreement from all individual contributors as well as executives and CEOs. Not all are applicable, neither are fixed "dogmas". Each will require adaptation to each company culture, needs and resources and not all of them will be equally applicable.

In this book, together with of my friends and seasoned tech leaders, we will describe and explain the tools that got us where we are and how to use or implement them, or where to learn more from.

This is not a recipe for success or a mantra to take home such as “I will only work in Agile with TDD in my teams or death”. In fact those attitudes tend to be very dangerous. The goal is to have a big map of resources and tools so you can take the best tool for the job. Remember, if everything you have is Javascript, all problems will be await-async related.

The book is divided between the four main pillars or areas of work as an executive (in technology): Tools for Technology (management), Tools for Product (management), Tools for Leadership, Tools for Corporate and M&A and finally a few notes on Tools for Taking Care of Yourself. Some topics permeate so take this definition as a fluid taxonomy. You can jump from one to another, and why not, add your own if you want. Take notes, read the recommended books, and create your own guideline.

Being a CTO is more like a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book (for those who don’t know those books, go ahead and get some!). The possibilities are endless but many of the challenges are the same. Go ahead and start going through the pages!

Technology is a fundamental engine of change in the world. That is why all the proceeds from this book are donated to two NGOs in Barcelona that use tech to make the world a better place: Teaming and Migracode.

    Soy muy fan de los contenidos que transforman un conocimiento complejo en un conocimiento de calidad organizado, agrupado y "consumible". Y creo que "The CTO Toolbox" es un muy buen ejemplo. Fue un regalo para el CTO de la entidad que dirijo, que se encuentra en un momento de crecimiento tanto personal como de equipo y lo ha podido aprovechar muchísimo. En mi caso, "The CTO Toolbox", me ha dado píldorsas que me hubiera gustado tener antes de asumir posiciones de liderazgo.

    If I could travel back in time, let's say 10 years ago, this is the book I would recommend myself to narrow down the several tools, methodologies, career paths and more in which I have ended up drilling down into by reading books here and there.

    It gives you a full map of the tools and methodologies you can end up using in the industry, in that sense it gives you confidence to be familiarised with them within a solid knowledge.

    The author plus the seasoned tech leaders contributing to this book, hit the nail on the head on each topic covered and encourage the reader to opt for specific books to get on with those topics, so you will speed up your knowledge here.

    To sum up, I strongly recommend this book for the ones opting for a technical lead role, no matter the seniority you have, it will become your cheat code book to crack on with!
