How do you track progress and ensure timely delivery?

Short answer: We use tools like Jira or Azure DevOps to track progress via boards and burndown charts. I also monitor pull request activity, blockers, and actual work completed vs. planned. Mid-sprint, I check in with the team on progress—not just status updates, but how confident they feel about completing their tasks. If needed, I adjust scope or involve additional support early to avoid last-minute surprises.

Real-world example (ShopNest)

Managers care that you communicate early, protect quality, and help the ShopNest team deliver predictably.
