Context
Sharing Django expertise through mentoring
As part of enhancing the “Coin du Prof” educational platform, we initiated a mentoring program to help the internal team become proficient in Django, aiming for full autonomy in maintaining and managing the platform after our mission ended. The objectives were clear:
-
Provide hands-on support: enable the team to master the framework, maintain and evolve the platform independently.
-
Share our expertise to avoid long-term dependency and ensure project continuity.
Our approach
Hands-on, step-by-step mentoring
Our support was focused and structured:
-
Daily interactions with real-time feedback.
-
A collaborative communication channel was set up to answer technical questions quickly and efficiently.
-
Mentoring was structured around GitHub pull requests, with regular code reviews to encourage best practices and maintain code quality.
-
Peer programming sessions toward the end of the mission helped the team take control of backend development with guided support.
-
Senior-led code reviews provided expert oversight and guidance.
Results
In just a few weeks, code reviews and close collaboration enabled the team to develop a solid understanding of Django. They are now able to manage the backend on their own, fix bugs, and plan for future feature development.
This successful upskilling reflects our commitment to making knowledge transfer a cornerstone of our client relationships.
