The telco space is weird... I've been on a team where we had a Delivery Manager, Scrum Master, Project Manager, Software Tester, Performance Tester, Integration Tester - all to "manage" 2 ICs - one developer (me) and one devops.

... the saddest bit was that apart from me and devops, everyone else had nothing to do all sprint and so instead created multiple mandatory meetings throughout the sprint to which we had to spend half a day creating slides when the meetings could have all instead been done over email.
