hurry hurry ... create small teams

(meanwhile, teams are highly dependent on each other, #design and #PdM, #testing, #ops shared and maxed out)

"why isn't this working?"

...."I know why! We need project portfolio management. It is a planning problem. And another layer of human load balancers!"

(meanwhile, kingdoms grows, dependencies obscured, people 'deal')

"this is a low accountability environment!"

..."We've got to fix this. OKRs! Fix the managers. Even BETTER quarter packing and tetris"

(meanwhile, passionate problems solvers are leaving, burnt out, sad, and hardened souls with the right incentives are digging in for the long haul)

"we have to figure out how to innovate"

..."Start an innovation lab, silo the teams, get those PIONEERS in a safe place, unobstructed by the this madness"

(meanwhile, funding shifts to shiny objects, even more dependencies for the forgotten force, no $ to hire and improve)

"TIME FOR ACQUISITIONS!"

..."The market is rewarding us for capital efficient acquisitions!"

(Meanwhile ... trying to fold in five acquisitions, keep innovation lab, and deal with mass exodus from the original org)

"Time to centralize core functions....!"
