Uh, those questions might not be relevant, some of the questions, to you but we just wanted to understand, uh, your depth, as well as additional knowledge, as well as your willingness. Uh, so those things. So we're going to be asking you some technical questions, behavioral questions, and some development, career development questions. So, those categories.

I am working with Mononsoft around five years.
Five years. About.
Okay. So we will ask some technical skills rating one to five.
So, in front-end and back-end development, um, any language, any, any coding language, do you, how do you rate yourself?
I basically work in database system and beside that, some sort of JavaScript, HTML, CSS like that and and Oracle Apex front-end development. Though here it is very minimum opportunity to work in Mononsoft in Oracle Apex as there is no project in Apex. Actually, working where we are working now in that project.
And in database, I am working about 16 years.
No, we will talk about the database later. In front-end and back-end, if I wanted to ask you to rate you, what ratings you would give it to you, one to five?
Uh, I will give me four.
In front-end and back-end?
Yeah.
Okay. API and development and integration.
No, I don't work in API.
Okay. So, you have knowledge?
Little.
Okay, little bit. So I'm putting you one.
Uh, database management, which is your specific field, how do you rate yourself?
Five out of five.
Five out of five. Uh, which database?
Oracle, SQL, MySQL, SQL Server.
Okay. This three mainly.
Okay. Database optimization and query tuning. How do you rate yourself?

Very little. Okay. Um, system architecture understanding. How do you rate yourself?
4.5.
Okay. Debugging and troubleshooting.
Five out of five.
Okay. Documentation creation and document quality, if someone gives you documentation and you create it.
Five out of five.
Okay. No doubt about it.
Now we're going to be asking you some behavioral questions. Time management. How do you react in relation with time management, you and your team?
Is it marking?
You, first you as a person, second, your team.
Very good.
So...
Excellent.
So, how do you rate it?
Six out of five.
Okay. So, we can only give five.
Okay. So if I give a scenario, someone in your team is not regular with their work, with their submission, with all those things, how do you prevent him to...
We have no member like that in our team.
If in the future, something like that happens, what would you do?
Should be, should take precautionary measure and try to make him understand and try to put him in the right path.
If he's not?
If it is not an absolute failure, then it shouldn't be our team member.
So you will exclude them from the team?
Yeah.
Okay. Communication.
We'll try my level best, but still if it is, it doesn't work, then it is the only possible outcome.
Okay. In communication, how good you are in Bengali and English?
Five out of five.
Okay.
Teamwork and collaboration. As a team leader or team manager, um, project manager, how do you think about your team versatility and teamwork?
Full marks.
Yes, but what do you think about that?
Sorry?
What do you think about that? Like teamwork. Um, you have to do or complete a task and you have given this task to your team members. How do you work with them?
As a leader, as a co-worker.
Okay.
Whatever is needed to accomplish the task.
So if you give a task to someone and they don't, they didn't understand the task and they are delaying that task from you and they didn't come to talk to you, but you notice that there is some problem. How do you resolve that?
I should have given the task after making him understand about the task, fully elaborate it to them.
And each and every point is made clear to them. Only after that I hand over a task to someone.
So we will, we will definitely ask questions if they have understood what you have given.
Yeah.
Okay.
Whatever they want to know, they can ask. They are fully, fully freedom, they are given fully freedom to ask any sort of question to us.
Task ownership. Can you tell me about task ownership? How do you see task ownership within you and your team?
Very good. And we are already, the last five years, we are, all we are trying to take the full responsibility and ownership of our product and we are working like that. We are not doing job, actually. We are taking ownership and we are making our own product, actually.
So if you see someone in your team, they are not owning the work, uh, they don't like the work they are doing, what would you do?
Should be motivated and make, give training, be opportunity, and try to make them understand what they are doing and should make them taking the ownership of the product and work.
Okay. Problem solving skills. How good you are?
At least four out of five.
Okay. Um, if you think, uh, that you have to solve one problem working with the front-end or back-end developer and you know that you cannot solve that problem instantly, so what you would do at that point?
If it is the most prioritized work, then we should complete it.
Yeah, but you can't solve it on the, um, required time frame.
Yet didn't get any sort of work like that.
But if you get in the future?
So, it will take some time for R&D purpose or to find out the behind the scene reason or whatever it is to accomplish the work. We should accomplish it.
Okay. Learning initiative. How well you are when you try to learn and how well you are with your team for their, improve their learning skills?
Very good.
Give me an example.
We are each and every day we are learning actually. And uh, the expansion of our fields that we are working, each and every day we need to be get upgraded ourself. To cope with the changing trends, changing technologies, the new versions. So each and every day we are actually learning and working and upgrading ourselves.
Okay. In marking, what you would level you from one to five?
I will give me five in learning.
Okay, adaptability. How good you are to adapt change?
Five out of five. Whatever the changes, I can adapt.
Okay. I will ask you some questions now. Which parts of your role do you feel you are strongest in?
No matter at all actually. If we think about leadership or team leader or a developer, and we are fully dedicated to each and everything.
But if I want you to rate you one that you are very strong, apart from everything, what is that role?
Problem, analytical part, I think.
Analytical problem.
Analytical part of the problem is we can find out it easily.
Okay. What parts of your role you struggle with?
Never faced such a scenario like that in my 25 years.
Yeah, but you don't struggle?
No, I didn't yet struggle in any sort of situation or anything.
Okay. What skills would you like to improve over the next 6 to 12 months?

AI.
AI is a product terms, any tools?
Or technology?
Not thinking, think about it.
Okay. Do you always have a, have the right resources for you and for your team?
Yeah, got it. But sometimes we stuck because of lack of manpower in our team as we are working in several parts of our projects, but our workforce is actually too limited, I think.
Okay. Um, we are continuing this conversation because we wanted to create a versatile team. And within this versatile team, we will divide it in three categories. One is current core, second one is working for people, for other business. And third one is creating innovative ideas, application and so on. In these three scenarios, where do you fit in or you want to work?
I can do multitasking in here, in this scenario.
So you can, you can be embedded to three of these scenarios.
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you very much. Do you have any question to me?
No. Thank you.
Okay, then that's fine. We will continue this conversation because this is the initial discussion and we will go in-depth discussion later in the month, okay, to understand each and every process that you incorporate within your work and as you said that you have less team members, how we can incorporate that, how we can add full adaptation of the current work you are doing. So we will have in-depth conversation later, but with this initial discussion, we wanted to understand each and every employee, who they are, what they do, how they do, and their existing knowledge. Thank you very much for your time.
Thank you very much, Wahid. You can leave now.
So, more or less our...
