About this listen

In this episode of the podcast, The Missing Kei, hosted by Edie Woelfle, the focus is on the importance of not just hiring great developers but also incorporating three key support roles in a startup's tech team. Using the analogy of building a house, Edie explains that developers are like skilled carpenters, but to effectively build a "house" or application, additional roles such as the architect (product owner), the foreman (project manager), and inspector (quality assurance team) are essential. The product owner defines the project's objectives, the project manager ensures smooth execution and timeline, and the quality assurance team checks for bugs and issues. By having a well-rounded team, successful and cost-effective software can be built without developers being tied up in tasks outside their core competency. Edie warns against waiting until the business scales up to incorporate these roles as problems could have already arisen.
