Does a Head of Development need to be on top of current technologies? Should he be able technically understand what teams are doing?

@owehrens Of course they should. How can this even be a question?

@stilkov @owehrens I know cases where that leads to micromanagement and a head of development doing bad architecture work.

@ewolff @stilkov @owehrens so the HoD better be an MBA instead just to be sure he can’t micromanage?

@pvblivs @stilkov @owehrens question is misleading. Most important: HoD = proper manager. Tech Skills required but not about latest tech.
