A huge backlog of wasteful features
Stakeholder drama and misalignment

Feeling you are stuck in a feature factory
Lack of clarity and buy-in around priorities
Juggling too many projects at once
Taking forever to get a decision made
Feeling overwhelmed from updating tickets and in meaningless meetings all day
