Seriously f ACN. Was offered a role outside my region after interviewing with the senior manger and client... But my tfs gave a hard no bc we must be staffed locally. I'm fed up with this place

Have the MD of the project get involved. I've seen this happen a few times, the MDs can steamroll whatever the TFS says.

Your tfs doesn't matter at all. If the project escalates (especially bc you've already had a client interview) your tfs has no say in the matter and you will get staffed on that role. Unfortunately the tfs role is nothing but a paper pusher at this point with no real understanding of what it's like/what it takes to staff teams.

Tfs has no power. I bet they have a performance metric of how well they staff to the regional model. Just have your CC and MD staff you. Say it's a dream project that aligns with skills and where you want to go.

I think tfs might have more power than we think. Not to the MD level, but ai@wonder if they can overide everyone else?

That's bullshit. TFS can't say anything. Talk to your MD and SM from that project to override TFS.

I’m confused by all these posts about Product Owners. I’ve worked at 3 Bay Area-based tech companies over 6 years and never heard of a Product Owner. As a product manager, i work with my engineering and design partners to figure out what to build and then build it. What role would a product owner play in all this? My honest assumption is that this role was invented by companies that want to pretend to be doing agile but aren’t really, but I’m open to being proven wrong.
