Situation
Working as sr. software architect in AICPA.
Team Members (Durga) used to underperform and were never able to deliver the work on time, neither were able to fix any bug independently.
The Director of Project delivery & Scrum master were aware of its good chance of higher level escalation.
Task
I took this as a challenge to understand what is happening and how to improve his level.
Actions
I spoke with him he had 3 major issues
Lack of server side coding skills
Lack of angular knowledge
Lack of understanding of overall architecture. ( DDD , SOA skills )
I did a coding session and explained our system architecture.
Also I asked him to make one server side prototype project after watching pluralsight courses.
Results
He started working on his own and was able to deliver tasks on time.
He started owning entire stories as well now he is leading 2 people in our team and performing outstandingly.
Started taking fullstack stories and delivered on time.
My director of project delivery and VP of software development are very satisfied with his performance and ownership behavior.
