Oct 24, 2019 at 12:57 comment added Thangadurai Tom is OK in a team as long as he argues on "what is right" than "who is right". Though you have already mentioned about his behaviors clearly in the post, I just would like to add one thing "If a leader refuses to listen every comment or everything they say, then soon you will end up with a team who have nothing to say" and that just kills the creativity part of the whole process.
Oct 23, 2019 at 19:20 comment added Todd A. Jacobs I'm with @MarkC.Wallace on this one. I'm not sure it's off-topic per se, but as written this is more of a line management concern than a project framework or control issue. Most project management professionals would simply refer an unresolved issue like this to line management or senior management, as appropriate within their organization.

Oct 22, 2019 at 18:31 comment added Travis Wilson This question doesn't have a general answer. It's probably going to start a good discussion, but as you can tell from the answers, every situation like this is different. It depends on Tom and it depends on the PM's skill. Really this question is a form of "How do I ensure my developers are doing the right tasks?" -- and the main job of a PM is to get that right for each situation.

Oct 21, 2019 at 13:59 comment added Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Peer review, and just not accepting until it is right. No new tasks until the old ones are done. Ignore work not done on assigned tasks. Discuss why his generous estimate did not hold for the old, delayed tasks. Repeat.

Oct 21, 2019 at 11:51 comment added MCW I'm a bit distracted by the fact that this is phrased in terms of workplace and supervision and not in terms of the impact on the project. Seems to be me that the impact on the project is that you don't have a project team - you have two project teams - Tom and everyone else. If Tom doesn't recognize the value of working with the team, then that should have an impact on his assignments and his career. I would never recommend someone for product manager who can't work with a team.

Oct 21, 2019 at 8:52 comment added Tiago Cardoso I believe Tom is a Cowboy coder, so your question may be a dup of Advice for dealing with a cowboy programmer in an agile team.
