Doesn't surprise me at all. You let the Project Managers with deadlines based on beating some other dumbass to market make the calls. It's exactly like what blew up the Challenger. All they really know is what they are told.

yeah heaven forbid we should let the market have any influence, shudder

Sorry, I have to take offense, I am both a PM and work with cloud products, I don’t do what I am told. I do what I tell them needs to be done to complete the project. And then I make it happen, with integrity and a focus on quality.

Then again, might as well blame the PM. That’s part of our job description whether we are at fault or not. I get paid a lot of money to be a sh*t magnet.
