Ask HN: Tracking 'bad' decisions
Assume the role of CTO for a start up. One must advise the company on "the Way". Sometimes (many?) a decisision is made that is not in alignment with this path.
There is desire to say/show "I told you so" or perhaps "Your good idea sounds like the one I described four months ago, its about time"
How do you track these decision points that you dont agree with?
Digging through email or chat or code takes a long time.
Any tips for tracking, logging, or some kind of capture?
Is there any real gain?
- pm24601 10y agoQuestions: 1. why isn't your opinion respected? 2. are you proposing something (as an advisor) or leading as a CTO? 3. do you have internal credibility? It sounds like you are not really the CTO in spite of the job title - if you have to go back and say "see I told you so". Much deeper issues happening here.
- edoceo 10y ago#1 is what we seek the answer to. #2 CTO #3 Apparently not, its what we are currently evaluating
- nwrk 10y agoBeen exactly there. Started using Loomio[0] Open source, Selfhosted, Collaborative Decision-Making and surprise many issue resolved. When you and involved people voice the opinion, cast the vote in open and in written - was like a miracle. It's also very easy to go back and review the reasons / arguments. Wish you good luck, not easy situation. [0] https://www.loomio.org/ https://www.loomio.org/
