You are managing a project for a long-standing client that requires three developers. Two of the developers have worked on this project together for over a year, but one has joined recently from another silverorange team to replace a parental leave. The two established devs are responsible for onboarding the new teammate.
Two months after onboarding, you start to notice that the team’s estimates are becoming more and more inaccurate and their velocity is decreasing. You review Shortcut (your project management tool) and notice that the 'In Review' stage is the bottleneck. When you check a few pull requests, there is twice as much feedback as normal from all devs, both the new and old.
How would you approach this situation? Let us know what questions you would have, your approach to communication, and what support you would expect from silverorange (the operations team as well as your project team).
