I thought this was where OP was going with this comment. My inner LLM predicted the next sentence after “This reminds me why smaller companies can steal market share from larger companies.” to be: Larger companies get bogged down with heavy backlogs where it’s hard to tell what’s actually important to work on anymore. Small companies can stay nimble and focused more easily.
50K tasks in a single project is a joke. People should be forced to konmari it. Put a capacity diagram in their face so they have to constantly confront the reality of their lack of organization.
