Well, that was an interesting meeting…

A project had promised to its steering group that all project functionalities would be ready by the end of the year (insert surprised response here…) and they were asking about when the mobile app we work on would release the remaining 2 major features (a third one is planned and will be released before the end of the year). Well, did you ask us if this timetable would even be feasible? Of course you did not, because why should you… 🙄 Yes, while those 2 major features are on our roadmap and backlog, their implementation will very likely start next year at earliest as we don't have enough resources to work on them (or all the other things that are wanted from us) at the moment.

Speaking of resources, a "fun" comment from the same meeting: "we did not reserve any budget for the mobile development from the project". Well, duh, if you would have given money to the mobile development, which serves also a bunch of other projects, we could have had extra hands to help us and the different features would have been possible to be done earlier. But no, that would be… I don't know, something reasonable?
