That's the point, everyone does not understand the business context. Nor are they expected to. That's the job of the PM it's his main responsibility, and it's the reason PMs are hired to manage teams of developers.
- wpietri 7y agoI understand some organizations work that way. I'm saying it's bad. The point of developers is to make software that people use. So if we want to do our jobs well, we have to understand how we are creating value. Product managers may manage that information flow, and they may get the final say in decisions. But if they are specifying software in enough detail that developers can be 100% ignorant, then developers can (and should!) be automated out of that work.
