Engineering says "This is a bad idea". Management says "We want this regardless."
The problem is not that the engineers didn't convey what they wanted to say clearly, it's that management did not want to listen.
- mrisoli 9y agoExactly this, speaking from personal experience, a PM's job is to make sure things are shipped, not escalate Engineering problems to increasingly non-technical people up in the chain. If engineering says "This is a bad idea", PMs will say "It's not perfect", for management that means "ship it".
