What counts as critical
Leaders
The VP, Head or Director who owns the function, and the people who report to them directly.
Critical talent
Senior engineers, squad leads and senior PMs driving the initiatives the business depends on. Not every engineer or product manager on the team.
Team size
Our best estimate of the whole function's headcount, so you can see how the company is shaped as well as who leads it.
