Thanks for sharing. I was stuck in the "feature factory" for a long time before I started learning Product Management because, as you said, I only had a Project Management mindset. And much of my current situation aligns with your post. It's hard work, but building good relationships with stakeholders is key to successfully changing the current foundations related to a Product Team's ultimate goal, which is not to deliver features, but to deliver value.
Even at the best of times I’ve always felt like I was in some shade of feature factory - not sure if you fully made it out or not but if you did you are living the dream!
