> Stakeholders should be able to talk to devs Not necessarily. The Product Owner should definitely be able to talk to devs, but not necessarily all stakeholders. What I suspect may have happened in this case, is that a dev talked to a stakeholder that was not the Product Owner, and instituted a change that was either not properly communicated to the team, or which was contrary to what other stakeholders or the Product Owner wanted.
