SPACE Framework: Measuring Developer Productivity Holistically
Measuring developer productivity beyond lines of code.
Management Framework
Management is the discipline of defining the "Who," "What," and "When." It bridges the gap between a company's vision and the daily execution required to get there.
This section offers a toolkit for both people leaders and project managers. We focus on frameworks that reduce friction and increase accountability:
- Team Dynamics & Trust: Models for understanding the stages of group development and building psychological safety.
- Performance & Feedback: Structured protocols for conducting coaching dialogues and objective employee evaluations.
- Project Execution: Methods for clarifying role ownership, authority boundaries, and breaking down task complexity.
Explore these tools to move from ad-hoc supervision to systematic leadership.

Management Framework FAQ
Why is there often confusion about roles in projects?
Confusion happens when assumptions replace clarity. Without a defined structure, multiple people may think they are "in charge," or conversely, everyone might assume someone else is doing the task. Management frameworks solve this by explicitly assigning who is responsible for doing the work vs. who has the final authority to approve it.
How can I build trust within a new team?
Trust isn't just a feeling; it's a result of consistent behaviors. Frameworks for trust-building break down "credibility" into specific elements like competence, reliability, and intimacy. By consciously demonstrating these behaviors, leaders can accelerate the team bonding process.
Why is conflict inevitable in team development?
It is normal for teams to go through a "storming" phase where personalities clash. This isn't a sign of failure but a necessary stage of growth. Management models help leaders recognize this phase and guide the team through it, eventually leading to a stage of high performance and alignment.
How do I make one-on-one meetings more productive?
One-on-ones often devolve into simple status updates, which wastes time. Effective managers use a structure to ensure these meetings cover more than just daily tasks, allocating specific time for relationship building, long-term career development, and mutual feedback.
