I work in a large team of 14 people. I am the team lead.

Over the past few years, as the team has gotten larger new people have joined. My manager was mainly responsible for hiring the team. I became team lead after the team was expanded. Nonetheless, my manager and I have different expectations of good developers.

Personally, I think a lot of the people in my team are not suitable for developing new features.

There are 3 developers who I would consider capable of doing new development. The other 11 are capable of fixing bugs and doing what is considered as small enhancements. Even sometimes with small enhancements they need to do "pair programming" and it ends up slowing down the other team members by a large margin. Needless to say, the team dynamics are way off balanced. 2 seniors, 1 mid level, 11 juniors.

Honestly speaking, my manager does not see this fact.

I have tried things like such:

• In the daily standup, I will ask specific people if things are clear to get their confirmation in front of the manager. Even after they say everything is "clear". They insist to meet and "go over things", my manager allows it. He even promotes "peer programming".


• I have also stepped back and watch people fail. This does no justice to the company.


• Each time I start a new feature, I try to assign the new work to the top performing people. I want the strongest players in the right place at the right time. However, my manager always interferes and allows the most junior people to "lead" some of the most challenging parts.

From what I know, my manager does not hold people accountable if they underperform.

How can I tell my manager that certain people are not capable of handling new features?
He either needs to fire them or just give them small bugs to fix and have low expectations.
