My expectation as a lead-role in DevOps is that my CTO understands what I am saying, if I were to present a business case to him for evaluation or raise a concern with the company tool stack.

I don't need them to be able to implement any of the changes, but I need them to be able to know why the change needs to happen and what business value it does or does not give.
