It's a sarcastic way of saying that something is really bad.
The language is meant to sound a bit like 'office speak' - where people use more complicated words just to sound smart. But it's a joke - you don't say this seriously, you say this to make people laugh a bit because you've avoided directly saying that something is really bad.
