This article is a continuation of the conversation with Maxim Baryshnikov, Wargaming, Head of Platform. The first part, devoted to technologies and architecture, has already been published on Habré . This part is about management in a software company.
From it you will learn, for example:
- What is Wargaming's development ideology, what is fear driven development, and why do you have to restrain Scrum adherents
- What tools are used in Wargaming to collect feedback and evaluate employee “satisfaction” and why the “I'm tired, I'm leaving” condition is almost never a surprise
- How important are soft skills and culture fit for engineers?
- What is a "relocator" and other epic memes and feyl companies
Alexey Rybak: Do you have any basic ideology, some kind of motto, like Facebook - “Move fast and break things”?
Maxim Baryshnikov: Wargaming has the conviction of the owners, who are known to everyone and which are fixed in the motto “We deliver legendary online games. Globally. With passion. " It has not changed from the very beginning of Wargaming, in the sense it was formulated when needed, when Wargaming became an international company. But the convictions of the CEO, Viktor Kisloi, they have always been like that. He always had games in the first place. He himself is a desperate gamer. He just wanted to make more good games, but he loves this particular genre (military-strategic games, approx.). If you look at what games Wargaming did, they’re all about that.
