The invisible ticket
Marketers can't find where a headline lives, so they ask a developer. Next time, they skip trying and go straight to a ticket.
A database, not a CMS
On platforms like Contentful, there are no organized website pages, just a database of disconnected unnavigable entries.
A journey for a typo fix
On legacy systems, even a copy change can require a long developer-dependent process, slowing down content publishing.
