My employer has something like 250 products. Five of them are responsible for 80% of the revenue.
Dev teams of those five are stretched thin, barely able to keep up with bug fixes, and struggling to add new, important features -- so much so that getting anything on the roadmap is an impossible battle, no matter who is asking.
There are thousands of devs at the company, most of them attached to the products that contribute relatively nothing to the revenue stream.
I don't know if it's not obvious -- it must be obvious -- that to move forward the right thing is to cut most of the products and refactor the teams to drive the remaining money-makers. Yet, this has not happened, and I see no indications, no murmurs of it happening. Corp politics are wild.
