I think I disagree

There is a production eco-system - let’s call it The Hotel. It runs, people work in it and customers pay and it makes money.

But it constantly needs changing. New rooms need to be built, the kitchen rearranged as the chef changes his mind.

So they hire an architect and building firm. Who plan the chnages and then this awesome automated robot comes and builds the extra room.

The architect firm owns and is responsible for the robot and its changes.

Not being able to make a change really really matters, but I don’t call that production because the hotel is still able to operate

Most of the misunderstanding between business and tech is a misunderstanding of are you working on the architect firm or the hotel
