L6/L7 Advanced Graph Algorithms Mastery

This module covers advanced graph algorithms essential for L6/L7 engineering managers, focusing on complex system design applications, optimization problems, and distributed computing scenarios.

Framework for Engineering Manager Graph Algorithm Mastery

Strategic Understanding vs Implementation

Markdown
**L6/L7 Manager Focus:**
- Understanding algorithm complexity and performance characteristics for large-scale systems
- Knowing when to recommend advanced graph algorithms for system optimization
- Ability to evaluate and guide technical proposals involving complex graph problems
- Connecting graph algorithm choices to business requirements and system architecture

**Key Advanced Concepts:**
- Network flow optimization for resource allocation
- Graph connectivity for system reliability
- Shortest path algorithms for routing and optimization
- Graph coloring for scheduling and resource conflicts
- Strongly connected components for dependency analysis
