A Practice Leader is the first point of contact for their direct reports, and they liaise and relay information between senior leaders, HR, and engineers. The role is probably the most important because this is the first line of people management, and it provides things to be done. A PL is a part of the Practice, so this person must be at least senior-level in their specialty and a people manager.
