Often, you\u2019ll find that everyone\u2019s working hard \u2026 on different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David flags this as one of the most common red flags in product teams:<br><br><em>\u201cIf I hear a team talking only about what they\u2019re doing \u2014 not what they\u2019re learning \u2014 that\u2019s a red flag.
