Unclear product and technology roadmaps
Poor architecture and rising technical debt
Technology selected without ownership-cost analysis
Engineering hiring without a capability plan
Limited visibility into vendor delivery and quality
AI investment without data or governance readiness
Vendor lock-in and integration risk
Transformation programs without technical ownership
