It's gotten worse over the last few years. I'm very confused on responsibilities.

Pros

There used to be a lot, but management seems to be trying very hard to take it all away.

Cons

Absolute chaos.

We used to follow a clear model in which DEVs know what they're doing, QA know what they're doing, and PMs know what they're doing.

Now they cut half of QA, and appear set to do the same for PMs, leaving DEVs to do QA and PM work in addition to our own DEV work.

It's overwhelming, not to mention stressful, having to do things that we don't feel comfortable doing.

Advice to Management

The old agile model, with well-defined job descriptions, worked very well and very efficiently. This new model of DEVs doing everything is risky and unhappy.
