What do I do if upper management seems to be driving this process?


If your input regarding how the company is run is valued by upper management, then make a clear argument that they are running a feature factory and what they can do to change.

If no one cares what you think, then the best outcome for yourself and the your company is for you to find other employment. You labor is freed from the feature factory for more productive purposes and the probability of survival for your sub-optimal company is diminished, opening opportunities for more optimal companies in the same space.


Where this exists it's usually driven by management, especially #12. The fix is to shift focus towards measurements and a longer timeline. It's really hard to change management's focus, but you can implement that mindset for your and your teams work and once management sees the benefits it will be easier to convince them it's worth adopting.


Bail asap.
