👉 Blocked engineering refers to a situation where a software development project encounters significant obstacles or roadblocks that prevent it from progressing as planned. These challenges can stem from various sources, including technical difficulties, resource constraints, team disagreements, or external factors such as changing project requirements or dependencies on third-party services. When these blockages persist, they can lead to delays, increased costs, and reduced productivity, making it difficult for the project to reach its intended milestones or deliverables. Effective management of blocked engineering involves identifying the root causes, fostering open communication among team members, and implementing strategic solutions to overcome these hurdles.
