You'd hope. That's not always my experience. What I often see is cutting random bits off the development plan until the resource constraints are nominally satisfied, without much regard for whether the resulting plan is sensible. That's if there's a plan. Sometimes these systems get randomly assigned a level based on vibes, with the expectation that someone will later go back and fix the level if it's incorrect. This works about as well as commented TODOs.
