I feel you, and I'm not in software, nominally I'm a Product Owner from the business side. As a business we didn't understand the problem we are facing yet, we have no strategy how to tackle the problem in limited time and with the limited resources we have. And since two weeks Dev Ops is pushing me to come up with a headcount estimate to develop the software solutions we need. Because, of course, upper management needs resource estimates to come up with a reduced budget. It's a mess. And our BPO is fully on-board with this, because career opportunities. And the other POs have close to no experience. The DevOps head never had any IT experience before he became DevOps. We have a whole bunch scrum masters, agile coaches and the like. We have zero functional consultants, and we are looking at an ERP implementation project here. Oh, and the last developer we had on the project didn't see the difference between a technical and a business go-live or the need to conduct proper use-case based user acceptance tests. Or proper requirements definitions, because, you know, agile. It's a mess.
