I’m noticing how often roadmap conversations become debates about what leadership already promised externally instead of what the team thinks should happen next. By the time product gets involved, part of the decision already feels made. It changes the conversation from strategy to damage control pretty quickly. How do you handle roadmap planning when commitments are already floating around before product weighs in?

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience.

I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅
