Which is possible. Yoshi-P is on the board which means he probably has a bit more say than your average software development manager or director but being on the board doesn't mean he gets carte blanche decisions about budgeting or about shareholder expectations. He gets a seat at the table but so do others and sometimes those others have their own pet ideas or have an iron fist control on the purse strings. So he and his team may also be dealing with a limited budget.
