summary
A clear method appears: build a personal backlog of high-impact work from business strategy, team plans and org risks, then prioritize by company needs, risk and personal growth. Commitments live in a simple spreadsheet and a public doc, with quarterly goals with two six-week cycles and weekly reviews that record outcomes and feedback. Examples include defining an engineering-wide metric for code quality, coaching an engineer to a promotion, owning on-call to surface actionable problems, and driving performance monitoring and fixes.
