Great reading! Always good to remember that trust alone will not fix everything, but is the pillar to start fixing it at least.

I think about Dave Snowden’s Cynefin framework which suggests that in complex systems, even with trust and collaboration, outcomes are emergent and not always predictable.

So while fixing culture is crucial, leaders also need to accept a level of humility that even the best planning and trust can only guide, not guarantee, the right outcomes.

I really appreciate the brutal honesty here, especially the idea that better coordination cannot fix poor collaboration.

I agree, these problems exist. Why do we still have them after decades of roadmapping and decades of Agile? I believe a strong reason is that there is no shared purpose of the roadmap between dev teams, management, sales, etc. They all use roadmaps for different purposes.
