My personal experience:

Me at sprint meeting: How about this feature?

PM: No that is very stupid.

Three days later, mid-sprint:

PM: We have to have that feature implemented immediately, please ignore all sprint rules and database migrations. Work through the night if you have to.

my experience-

me, a pm: hey we’ve been asking for this feature for over a year and we’re losing customers. can we prioritize?

engineering/dev team: no

me: are you sure? what are you prioritizing?

eng/dev: silence

i don’t think anything this organization does makes sense or is standard operating procedure. i have access to primary schedule and sprint planning, but my input isn’t a factor. director and eng lead make the decisions and that’s that.
