This leads to a situation of growing chaos where not everybody can understand what everybody else does. Your engineers are no longer easily replaceable and creating interacting systems gets growingly complicated.
Mix this in with limited time and resources of management, it's easier to give out guidelines than to deal with the mess that'll be created when loosening the leashes.
(It all totally depends on the situation, though.)

- std_throwaway 9y agoAnalysis paralysis goes well with bikeshedding when people who are not into the technical details are involved in the decision making process and start arguing about not-so-relevant details. I'd like a situation where the affected people give input and management decides who shall be involved in the decision making and delegates the decision and parts of the execution to those people.
