Hi all! I’m Nicolas and currently Engineering Manager at BackMarket for a couple of months... Prior to BackMarket, I held various management roles for 5 years at BlaBlaCar, dealing with remote teams, fast growth pace problematics and Tech Culture development. Before that I was a backend developer for 10 years within small startup and 2 major web companies in France: Meetic (Match.com) and Viadeo. Today I’m focussing on the well being of my teams but also on our Tech Employer Brand development. I’m also in charge of a wonderful family of 3 children with my wife and I’m living around Paris in France ;)

Hey, I'm available every Tuesday at 3:45 PM (GMT)

Nicolas Tricot discusses the problem he faced when reorganizing into feature teams. Implementing feature teams is an important and effective strategy for ensuring the right people are working together on a specific project. While these teams often yield success, the feature team members who are pulled from their dedicated teams often fear they will lose their expertise, or miss out on opportunities to improve their skills and knowledge about their specialization
