Covid-19 has almost overnight made work from home a new norm. Distributed IT teams are looking for full-stack developers – as they are more productive with higher utilization.  Embracing full-stack thinking helps enterprises enable small teams with self-sufficient skills to take digital transformation engagements. Globally, product teams and digital engineering teams are increasingly demanding only full-stack resources In the game of digital talent, it is a war of skills out there. It is not just reskilling or upskilling, but full-stack deep-skilling, which is the differentiating factor in combating this war. Hiring job-ready full-stack engineers is a tough ask and is a costly solution. Given the current times, talent transformation teams need to: 1) Deep-skill internal talent on full-stack 2) Hire external talent with strong base skills (2 or 3 years of lesser experience) and deep-skill on full-stack before deploying The current situation of teams working from home in a distributed environment is becoming the new norm. In this mostly unsupervised functioning, what is the role of traditional manager, or is there one? Building and nurturing a higher level of “Trust” among the full-stack team members will help in setting a high productive distributed workforce.
