Why do roadmaps change the second you finish planning them? I spent weeks aligning our Q2 goals and suddenly leadership reprioritized everything. It’s exhausting. How do you stay flexible without feeling like you’re rewriting your job constantly?

I’ll take “signs of bad leadership” for $400, please!

If your current or next quarter roadmap gets changed, it shows complete lack of respect for the process and your judgement, unfortunately. That doesn’t mean you did anything wrong, just a sign that leadership doesn’t know how to let their teams handle things on their own

funny

I'd say the bad leadership is in allowing this rather than pushing back to execute as planned.
The root cause why it happens I would say is laziness. There are people in larger organisations who have bad work ethics and push something at the last minute. If they're good at persuading people, this will come through messing up your roadmap.
