This is one reason why I go all in on practices that are backed by data to correlate with business success (CI/CD, DevOps, etc.). Think the Accelerate book. Software development has the added difficulty of being quite a young industry (relatively speaking), but (with tongue in cheek) how can you be expected to do better than practices espoused by industry leading research and companies?
Thanks, that sounds like a good strategy. I’ll have a look at the Accelerate book.

True, but not everyone has reasonable expectations :-) In those cases perhaps all that remains is to either have a frank discussion or to part ways.
