It can take developers 3 days to get a simple one line CSS change onto production. I could go into details of why this process is so incredibly inefficient, but I don't want to put any of you to sleep. On a daily basis, I tell one of my managers why our process needs to change ( which does not involve throwing more people at it ), but nothing ever changes.
As of today, when I attend our daily meetings there are 5 managers and 5 developers in attendance. And this is only for maintenance, the project team also has a 1:1 ratio.
This is the only large company that I have worked for, so I don't know if this happens anywhere else. If it does, it seems like an incredible waste of resources and money. Can anyone at HN help me out?
-Does this happen any where else? -Other than leaving the company, what else would you suggest that I do to make upper level management see the insanity of having 1:1 manager to developer ratio?
