  1. Some questions for possible recruits on Managing a Global Programming Team? · · Score: 1

    Here are a few questions I would put to any prospective members of a global programming team:

    1. Are you well-managed? If so, why? If not, why not?

    2. Is your manager an ex-programmer him or her self? If not, from what
    discipline did he/she come?

    3. Do you work in: a cubicle, a two-person office, a multi-person office,
    a private office?

    4. How often do you think about changing careers?

    5. How long have you been a *professional* programmer? (i.e., you get paid
    for doing it.)

    6. What is your job title?

    7. How many programming jobs have you had (i.e., different employers,
    consulting assignements, etc.)

    8. What platforms/languages do you specialize in?

    9. What *specific* suggestions do you have for those who find themselves in
    a position of managing a programming team?
