I think both are important but it’s not necessary for any one person to excel at both. Some will naturally be better at depth and others at breadth. As long as you acknowledge both types of contributions I think it will work out well. |

So currently there are two narrowly defined options for career progression:
* technical leadership on core project/domain
* engineering management
Perhaps instead of eliminating the depth option for the technical track and making the T shaped depth/breath mandatory, just make it an additional option to provide an additional track for people to take for career progression.
* deep technical leadership on core project/domain
* broad-based technical leadership on core project/domain and supporting role on multiple projects
* engineering management
