People (with some experience) who work together "just know", but sadly, managers too often are from the clueless ranks. Makes them susceptible to smoke and mirror mischief perpetrated by the less-than-honest developers and project managers. I've never worked in a big development environment, but I guess it could get really bad when not everybody knows everybody else.
