Every piece of your work is stuck somewhere in the system. There's a PR waiting for review, there's a product owner who hasn't made up their mind about something and is waiting to have a meeting with 5 other people who invariably always have one of them unavailable. The dependency for another piece of work is still buggy and needs to be fixed and updated before can do something there. The solution to this? Hire more people so that the bottlenecks can be cleaned... and Brooks's law starts taking its toll on every single late project. Sure, there are some teams that are rather focused and can push things through, but there are a lot that stuck somewhere and the hiring to try to. do things in those teams just makes it worse. There's work to do - just none of it can be done in this part of the org because there are too many people.
