Become a CTO, COO, CMO

Types of CTO estimates included in TCO

Basically, we need to add all costs to the TCO, even if some costs are indirect. Here are some examples of digital product development (not acquisition):

Development (which includes team management, product ownership, quality assurance, DevSecOps)
Technical Debt (a simple concept raising many questions for CTOs. Unproperly managed, it may easily lead to unbearable complexity and important loses in competitivity).
Technology stack mismatch (inadequate solution choice)
Licensing & tooling
Running infrastructure
Support & maintenance
Incidents management
Security breaches (in loss of reputation and recovery costs)
Business continuity and disaster recovery
Regulatory compliance
Audits
Training (+ continually onboarded new users)
Governance
Decommissioning

The most successful businesses have one thing in common: excellent leadership. For tech startups, in particular, a technology visionary who is also a great manager is essential for a growing company.

Learn the role of a CTO at different stages of a startup and the qualities that a great Chief Technology Officer (CTO) should have to be successful in your startup.
