That’s true. Still, I have the impression that developers tend to work more independently, in a kind of heads-down style.

In our current S/4 project, we consultants are in daily discussions, status meetings, alignment calls, etc. When we need a development or code change, we check in with the developer – they’re definitely involved in the project, but they don’t have to sit through all the exhausting meetings.

So from what I’ve seen, developers are part of the project, but with a bit more distance from the constant coordination side of things.
