2. **Developers don’t know it’s a priority.** Commercial Executives and Leaders simply assume their development teams are always using the best tools for performance and treating performance as a key initiative at all times. In reality, development organizations are responsive to and prioritize the needs vocalized by the commercial organization. If development teams don’t know performance is important to sales and marketing, they won’t prioritize it accordingly.
