The most notable part of the engineering staff is that everyone was always willing to be helpful and talk you through difficult problems.
Unclear product development owner, poor alignment between Engineering managers and the org for which you worked, leading to often bad prioritization.
Rather than handing off a sticky note with a vague goal and no knowledge of the priority or approach, start with a clarified outline of the task so that sprint velocity can be established. By continually moving the fence post via changing the requirements, it means that the faster you run, the faster the wheel spins.
