I agree with most of what you said, however: > For instance figure out the resources that was suppose to create the application, pass by its office, offer its a coffee and communicate clearly why the things is important and how important it is and what is the goal of the project and finally reassure the resources by putting in whatever work tracking system all the details. That's far not always possible. An example from my previous job was a situation where the upper management wanted to enforce some changes in order to try and shine in front of the CEO. Changes which no one further down, myself and my direct manager included, agreed with. We warned the upper management that this is a terrible idea and that a lot of people would quit - in a similar fashion - in the office over a coffee (actually over a zoom call, considering the pandemic had started). The response we got was "If they wanna quit, fine, f*ck them, we'll find new people". Needless to say we announced our departure the next morning with 0 room for discussion. And same happened to the rest of the team over the coming 6 months. What I'm saying is that you are right in principle but this does not always work.
