I work as senior software engineer. I have been asked to play the team lead role in a new project which is for a short duration of 3 months. This project is similiar to another project in our organization and 2 junior developers have been pulled out from that project and will be working under me in this new project.I have been told by the onsite that since they already know this code they will be to doing the main coding in this project quickly and your role will be lesser coding and mainly to ensure that requirements are properly taken and not missed, ensuring that UI is recieved on time from the UI UX team etc. They have been told that they will be doing most of the coding and I will be helping in the functional requirements point of view more than the technical point of view.
Since this is a new role for me I have some questions which will help me do this job better:
1) I have previously been doing mostly coding , so in any daily status update and timesheet I used to say that I worked on implementation of this or that today. Now that I am expected to mostly be doing non coding tasks in this project, what can I say as the daily status and mention in timesheet. E.g I cant say that today I made sure requirements are taken correctly and not missed or today I did follow up with UI UX team to give us UI on time. So what shall I say for these non coding tasks.
2) Any other suggestion to help me do my new role better?
