    Because they are managers and they sell unicorns*.

    Because the company has inept managers who do not realize that development needs a scrum master and product owner per team?

    Cool.. this is gonna take me about 2 months. What do we want to do?

    We can hire a consultancy for a bit, or we can prioritize features, and manage expectations..?

    Worst part is if you decide to actually manage to get it done until the deadline somehow and your reward is not only subpar code, but also the acknowledgement by management, that this apparently can be handled this way.
