Speaking to senior management about being "seen" doing something here. Maybe you should pull up your bootstraps and ask your team what they need, use your authority to knock down any blockers the team identifies, listen to them, work with them in the trenches, and in a way become their slave, ready to move on anything they ask of you. But hey, that's just what I'd do in the situation and be danmed if someone tried to tell me I wasn't doing something.
- dingo_bat 9y agoI don't know how much that would help. If senior management were capable of contributing at this level, they'd be an architect or product owner. They're not, so they cannot help. A certain design and a certain set of requirements is what defines the time table. You can influence it to a very small degree by adding more people, but that's it. Nothing anybody can do will make it faster, unless they propose a better more efficient design or way of doing it. Or reduce the requirements.
