IBM

(1) Focusing on grooming software developers for the next levels makes people stay with the company for long. Writing quality code is important for ongoing projects. Learning new technologies by participating in internal technical events also keeps developers current with market requirements.

Moving along with the transforming industry by suggesting enhancements to current projects with new technologies is key to grooming a software developer's technical eminence.

(2) The opportunity to be part of something big and larger than life, i.e., IBM, makes employees feel contented and have our presence felt in every breakthrough technology evolving in the market, like Blockchain, ML, etc. The opportunity to learn these new technologies through internal learning resources is good.

1. There isn't a strong governing body that controls/promotes transforming legacy software development projects to an Agile methodology. The progress for transforming teams to Agile Squads is very slow, especially for incumbent teams.

2. Lack of focus on backfills for resources leaving the team puts more pressure on existing developers.

(1) Promoting the overall development of a software developer by encouraging publications of technical work, presenting in conferences, and customer interactions is very important, and that should be continued.

(2) If there is a legitimate requirement for maintaining a product, then resource backfills to the team will help deliver better service to customers and better employee satisfaction.
