Things, IMO, which are spoilers:

1. Starting with an End date and create a plan from there. Some top leads want to get promoted and want to achieve X by this quarter or next.

2. With so many people leaving, there is not enough time and resources to onboard new folks, who are accounted in deliveries

3. Too many parallel initiatives

4. Unstable production taking daily attention

5. Not able to priortise tech debts over business features

6. Decision makers at top don't have grass root visibility or don't want to have.
