Before
Team delivers 50 to 60% of the quarterly roadmap; every retro ends with “we’ll estimate better next time.”
After
You run a 6-month transformation plan with monthly checkpoints, built to the 80%+ delivery standard.
Level 2 · 2-day intensive
Leading a High-Performing Team
In 2 days you leave with a 6-month plan to take your team from “delivers, mostly” to the published standard of this curriculum: 80%+ quarterly roadmap delivery, with the numbers to defend the plan in front of your CTO.

Not for
- First-time managers still learning delegation and their first 1:1s. That is L1.
- Directors and VPs managing other managers. That is L3.
- Senior ICs with no direct reports and no plan to take any.
Who it is for
- Engineering Managers with 1+ year of managing, running a team of 5 to 12 engineers that ships but does not excel.
- Senior EMs and Team Leads at scale-ups who own delivery, hiring, and performance reviews.
- Tech Leads formally moving into the EM seat at a company where the team is already formed.
The program
8 modules over 2 days.
From average to high-performing in 6 months
You stop firefighting and start executing a plan your manager has seen and backed.
Career growth that keeps seniors from leaving
Growth stops being a promo-cycle scramble and becomes the reason people stay.
Performance evaluation interviews, the hard versions
Reviews become the most useful hour of the quarter instead of the most dreaded.
Speak in dollars to top management
Your next ask gets a decision instead of a “let’s revisit next quarter.”
Hiring to be the first choice
Your funnel stops leaking at the exact moment it matters most.
Metrics that matter, and capacity when AI shifts throughput
You plan with today’s team, not last year’s baseline.
Change management, complete tactical template
Your next change ships without losing a single engineer to frustration.
Personal leadership bible
Decisions get faster because your team can predict them.
From where you are, to where you walk out.
Before
Performance review next month, and for your strongest engineer you have nothing beyond “keep it up.”
After
You walk in with delivery data, a growth plan, and a scenario you have already rehearsed against pushback.
Before
You asked for 3 weeks of tech debt work; the CFO heard “engineers want to play” and said no.
After
You resubmit the same ask priced in money and risk, in the language the board reads.
Before
Two engineers went 2x faster on AI tools; capacity planning is now guesswork.
After
You re-plan capacity around real throughput shifts instead of last year’s velocity averages.
Before
You track DORA because everyone does, and it has changed nothing.
After
You track the handful of signals that predict your team’s next quarter, and drop the rest.
What you walk out able to do.
- Draft the 6-month plan that takes your specific team from average to high-performing, with monthly milestones.
- Run a performance evaluation interview under pressure, the bored senior and the underperformer who disagrees with the data.
- Build an individual development plan for each report that survives contact with the roadmap.
- Pick 4 to 6 delivery signals from your own data, including AI-assisted throughput, and say why DORA alone is not the answer.
- Re-plan team capacity for the quarter where AI tooling shifted individual output.
- Pitch a technical investment to top management in money terms, rehearsed with peers playing your CFO.
- Run a change through your team using a complete tactical template, including the async version.
- Write your personal leadership principles: the one-pager that tells your team what you stand for.

What nobody else offers
The parts a competitor cannot copy in a quarter.
01
Run by the founder of the market’s leader community.
A competitor can copy a curriculum in a quarter; they cannot copy 2,000 leaders who already show up.
02
Real stages, with a real footprint.
Monthly ELC meetups put 100 to 120 leaders in one room, plus the annual conference. Reforge, Maven, and Oxford cannot offer this in the Czech market at any price.
03
Promotion instead of a certificate.
You and your manager both receive concrete development evidence written for the next performance review. Oxford hands you a certificate your manager cannot act on.
04
Interactive scenarios plus mentoring of your real situations.
Reforge at $3,495 has neither. Maven has templates but no scenario practice. Oxford has role plays for $7,500 with zero engineering specificity and zero AI.
05
A curriculum competitors have not written yet.
A scan of 9 programs found zero integrating AI into 1:1s, reviews, retros, and capacity planning under 2-3x AI output shifts.
“You track DORA because everyone does, and it has changed nothing about how the team works.”
Proof, honestly labeled
What we can stand behind today.
- 9.3/10 average from 33 participant reviews of the L2 course, earned under itensity Labs, same company, same lead facilitator, same L2 curriculum.
- Public Prague cohorts sell out: the sixth round, May 2025, closed with 0 of 12 seats remaining.
- Companies that trained their managers with us: Rohlík, Košík, Mews, Kiwi.com, Česká spořitelna, Trezor, and Apify.
The published itensity L2 result, teams led by trained managers hitting 80%+ of quarterly roadmap goals, a 30% efficiency gain worth about 300,000 CZK per month per team, is the standard this curriculum is built to. A named before/after client case lands here after the first cohort; we do not invent one.
