I have an employee who is prone to perseveration. He will focus on a task, and then start to evaluate every possible path until he has proven there is no more optimal way to accomplish a task. This can turn a 30 minute task into a 3 hour task, a 1 week task can turn into a 3 month task. For example, we needed him to put an avatar in Jira (if you have ever used Jira, you'll know the avatars are actually pretty useful). We're at the end of a 3 week sprint and we finally got him to upload a "placeholder", but it turns out he's been working nights at home to develop the optimal avatar. Attention to detail: 11. Time management: 3.
