I'd still say, work with reality - he doesn't do this - and put a process around it, instead of fighting him, since his work is good for what he does. Maybe you could try pair-programming, putting him with someone else who does do the necessary leg work? Or ask him to help you improve the specs as he goes through, so that he still feels empowered? Either might work well. | |

Actually, the problem isn't, if we take that exemple, that he changed the specs. This is perfectly fine and show that he has a good sense of what need to be done. The problem is that he should have discusses that with me (which is also the key in agile developpement) ! If specs didn't make sense to him, he could have talked with me, and I would have explained him why the choice was done. If he had a good, I would even has changed the specs. We are not in a very rigid structure. | |
