“Most developers wait too long to say they’re blocked.”
A software project can fall behind long before anyone admits there is a problem.
Prashanth Tondapu (Software Delivery and Team Leadership Expert) explains how his engineering teams use concise daily updates, Loom videos, and early pull requests to make developer progress visible. When individual contributors have to share what they completed—and where they are blocked—tech leads can identify risks before engineers disappear into a silo.
The issue is often not a lack of skill. Smart developers may believe they can solve the problem tomorrow, so they delay asking for help.
Daily progress updates turn hidden blockers into team problems that can be solved faster.
Do your developers flag blockers early or try to solve everything alone?
