Depends on your working environment. At my current position, if I code up a prototype during work hours, I'm subverting our EPMO, since it's not an approved project. I've had great success doing various prototypes like this, but I am not waiting for permission to do them.
Bringing those prototypes to production is another matter. In any organization, there are processes that need to be followed to onboard a new application, platform, pattern, etc. If those aren't followed, the implementation won't be nearly as effective—especially long-term.
- weavie 8y agoWhat is an EMPO? Indeed production is another matter.. "I'll just slip in this new crypto routine I wrote and ask for forgiveness later..."
- organsnyder 8y agoOops—should have been EPMO (enterprise project management office).
- weavie 8y agoHmmm... What is an enterprise project management office?
- rhapsodic 8y ago> Hmmm... What is an enterprise project management office? It's the office responsible for processing TPS reports.

- organsnyder 8y agoPretty much. They're responsible for managing the project pipeline, prioritizing, sequencing... Basically, they're meta-PMs. This is at a 25,000 employee healthcare system. Bureaucracy is inevitable, but agility is still essential.
- bendixso 8y agoIn some work environments, you are encouraged to get 40 hours a week, regardless of whether those 40 hours are necessarily put towards what are perceived as the "highest value" endeavors. So if you are blocked on everything else, why not take the remaining time and put it towards things you personally believe to be beneficial to the project? It is certainly better than sitting on your thumbs or asking people who are already busy what they think you should be doing.
