Currently having a product manager with micro managing tendencies. When he’s writing tasks for us, he doesn’t always describe the actual problem, but instead try to “help us” by describing what he believe will solve the problem. Kind of like the XY problem, but it’s the product manager doing it.
So often it’s a struggle to identify when a task is a “XY problem” task. It’s not always obvious.
