Work-Tech Stuff. 

Nothing banishes imposter syndrome like having having the VP of Engineering say things like "I'm really impressed with how you've handled this project, I'd like to use it as an example of how engineering and devops should manage large projects moving forward."

Though in my brain. "But all I did was like.. create wiki pages for various steps... drag stakeholders kicking and screaming into meetings and take thorough notes then worked with the member of my team I was paired with to divide up the execution of everything and create a design epic with sub tasks for meetings, PoC, testing and PoC review.. and separate Epic for all the work with subtasks for the various actual work bits and some detailing of out of scope work that all of the stakeholders said was the biggest improvement we could make in the long run.. and then create another wiki home page and stories for that work... after this project."

Oh... that was actually a lot. Now that I've written it all down.

re: Work-Tech Stuff. 

Also.. I think I might be a danger. VP of Engineering is the former manager and then director of my current team.. which as of yet does not have a manager and the original plan was for the senior team member to take over but he is a very head down ex-googler that just wants to write code and do SRE things and wants nothing to do with work management xD
