1. Misinterpretation of requirements: The misalignment between architecture clarity and industry knowledge may result in misinterpretation of the requirements of the project. This can decrease the outcome's quality and lead to dissatisfied clients who may not want to return in the future.
2. Increased cost and time consumption: A poor alignment may result in the development team spending more time and money trying to understand the fundamental requirements of the project.
3. Quality issues: Knowledge deficit often results in coding errors, poor design, a buggy final product, low performance, inadequate security features, and others. Such quality issues can result in end-users' dissatisfaction and bad reviews.
4. Reduced competitive edge: Companies with a sharp knowledge of industry needs can adapt more quickly to customer desires and rival innovations, resulting in increased competitiveness. A poor alignment, on the other hand, could lead to a lack of relevance or even obsolescence.
5. Low team moral: Members of the project team may become demotivated when faced with unclear requirements and lack of direction. The work environment may become tense, and communication between team members may break down.
6. Legal problems: Inadequate planning or wrong assumptions about functional, reliability, security or legal obligations can lead to potential liability problems, which could result in judicial or financial risks.
7. Loss of business opportunities: A lack of alignment with the company's industry knowledge might lead to significant clients seeking service elsewhere, resulting in lost business opportunities.
