Example 317 of why our #productmanagers may be shit hot at designing a product, but shitty at making #software :

We have the same half dozen settings that can be specified in 3 different locations. Think parameter in location A overrides it in location B which overrides it in location C. Valid use case.

But the order in which these parameters are displayed on each screen is _different_ in every screen. At least the field labels are the same.

We've been heavily influenced by people like @richardjpope, @pahlkadot, the #GDS, etc. - not having #ProductManagers is why a lot of #govtech doesn't work. We're fixing that by hiring the right people.

We understand good product management to be about making sure that we're building what is needed. This is hard with #data, where there is so much hype and misunderstanding! Come help us do better
