How does that work? Do they have the same the same PM, requirements? Is it just different tech / achitectures adopted by different teams. Fascinating

It is fascinating, very wasteful and also often devastating for the teams involved who worked very hard who then have their work thrown away.

PMs/TPMs/POs may not know as they're on different teams. Often it's just a VP game and decided on preference or a power play and not on work quality/outcome.

Give a goal (ex. make it more intuitive/easier for the user to do X), have 2 teams independently work on it, A/B test them, winner gets merged.
