Considering my experience since 2007 year, and observing how fast developer (or any software development related person) delivers expected work, I made up such classification, which helps me to put people in some branches. But it doesn’t help me to solve problem – how to work in teams, when there are different need for speed.
DISCLAIMER: This post is less technical as my other work-related articles on this blog, but from the other hand, it reflects my knowledge, my feelings as Software Engineer and my thoughts towards soft skills, considering I have been trained, I’ve been told we should be better, I’ve faced many opinions in this area, and I’ve seen many situations.
In below groups, I am using 2 terms:
- “speed up” with meaning of getting more responsibility and ownership of work, being proactive and improve both product code and product team development cycle, extend edges of possible by new findings.
- “slow down” with meaning of being lazy and doing work as fast as mood says, being late at the beginning of work day and being fast at the end of the day, being at some kind “delayed” in time.
