By "incompetents" I'm not saying they are stupid, useless or whatever we might say in hanger... I simply mean that they are misplaced.

Often managers (Project Manager, Program Manager, Product Owners, ...) are just too scared to fail or even worse, lacking way too much experience to even realize that they're failing.
This is for me, the most frustrating thing. Seeing that a project could have actually been something nice but due to the lack of experience at the management level, the whole thing will collapse.

Blame will inevitably fall on the shoulders of the smaller fish and the true failure point will never be addressed.
A new cycle will begin, a new team will be put in place but as the main issue is still there, the end result is written since the beginning.

Thankfully I've already been blessed with good management in my career... sadly, less often than desired.
