Strategic fluctuations: The product roadmap tends to shift significantly every few weeks. This frequency of pivoting makes it difficult to see projects through to completion or measure long-term impact.
Complex internal politics: There are often "invisible" cross-departmental tensions and political undercurrents that can be challenging to navigate for those focused on execution.
Decision-making bottlenecks: Important product decisions are frequently influenced by stakeholders from various departments who may lack the specific context, leading to a "too many cooks" situation and misaligned priorities at the executive level.
