Stakeholders, Engineering, Platforms and Products

Tension between Stakeholder and Engineering

Stakeholders always want more features, faster

Engineers always want to use the best engineering practices. 

In the long run, there needs to be a balance between the two. If the stakeholders always get their way in the short-term, engineering must cut corners and will pay for it in the future. If engineering always gets their way, features do not get completed in a timely manner. 

We must always pick two.

Tension between the mindset of Platform and Products

CBRE has has a push toward a platform mindset rather and a product. There are some questions that I have thought of that relate to this. 

What is team X responsible to create in the reusable component?

What is team Y responsible to create in the app that hosts the reusable component?
