Our product team has gotten really good at shipping features but we've lost sight of whether we're building the right thing, and every time someone brings up strategy everyone gets defensive because questioning the roadmap feels like questioning each other's work. We're all competent people but we're optimizing for the wrong metrics and no one wants to be the person who says the emperor has no clothes.
More people experience this than they realize.
Your team is great at shipping, but asking whether it's the right work feels like an attack no one will risk.
