Nice office in the Fora workspace, Cambridge, UK.
The motto is "go, go, go", but nobody knows where. Same solutions are reinvented several times, each with its shortcomings. Complexity grows while overall product quality decreases.

Technical management lacks management skills and has a naive understanding of software development.
Current technical leadership would benefit from training on management.
