In the event that you’re not happy talking structurally, or at a low level with engineers, then, at that point, take a few courses, similar to Harvards CS50x (free), udacity CS101 or comparative. They’ll assist with establishing you nuts and bolts and language. It helps in the event that you can code, regardless of whether just fundamentally and not in a creation sense.
Pay attention to your designers and architects, converse with your tasks groups and get what alternate routes or bottlenecks exist. Research client cross-over between items on the stage.
