Manager Overall Comments
Kiruthika is an valuable contributor to the team and well respected by her peers. She demonstrates a
strong technical competence and has continued to grow her technical skill sets this past year.
To move to the next level, she should take extra initiative to ensure that showstopper issues are resolved in
a timely manner. She should also become a leader in her team. One way to approach this is to take soft
skill leadership courses that will build these skills then utilize the acquired knowledge by coaching junior
team members. Kiruthika has many years of knowledge and experience that should be shared less
experienced team members.
