Where Do Bottlenecks Typically Arise in a Tech Company? Recognizing Patterns and Recurring Issues

When running or working in a tech company, bottlenecks seem almost inevitable. Whether it’s delays in development, scaling challenges, or decision-making logjams, they can slow progress and cause frustration. I’m curious: Where have you seen bottlenecks most frequently occur in your experience? For example: • Are they more common in technical processes (e.g., code reviews, deployments)? • In organizational dynamics (e.g., communication gaps, leadership delays)? • Or in external dependencies (e.g., reliance on third-party providers or market shifts)? Have you noticed recurring issues or specific patterns over time? If so, how did you identify and address them?
