Conclusion

It is essential to understand the daily interactions of a Technical Lead: code review, architecture discussions, coaching, managing a team. The identified paper demonstrates that, in addition to code, Tech Leads are responsible for technical integrity of the project and for guiding other aspects: team relations, project success, and subsequent architectural solutions. There is potential for subsequent studies that aim at understanding the dynamic roles that Tech Leads play as a result of advancements in technology and changes in the software development processes.
