Vantaggi
• There is still an attempt to apply Scrum, although the process is overly formalized. • Some cross-team collaboration between product and technical teams exists.
Svantaggi
The company relies heavily on a low-code development platform, yet Business Analysts and developers are not motivated or encouraged to grow; many feel their skills are stagnating. • Frequent hiring of fresh graduates without providing broader development opportunities has led to a lack of skill diversification. • This environment forces some employees to work under constant pressure, creating a toxic atmosphere where speaking up is discouraged. • CPO and CDO appear dissatisfied with the low-code platform, and there are ongoing efforts (led from the bottom by CBA initiatives) to shift towards more modern and up-to-date technologies. • Employees who express concerns or resist certain changes risk being sidelined or treated unfairly. • Product Managers and Technical Product Owners often lack the necessary expertise; skilled staff departures result in less qualified individuals taking on critical roles. • Business Analysts frequently lack the technical background to support development effectively. • The technical team in Turkey suffers from a shortage of experienced developers and leadership, leading to poorly managed projects. • Salaries remain below market average, and the recognition system is weak. • Excessive and unnecessarily long meetings (often under the Scrum and OKR label) contribute to overtime, much of which is unpaid.
