But this is the root of all these issues... Because everyone has a different perspective that underlies their "common sense," so this system of unspoken agreement just falls apart.
When you throw in the incentives of compensation and career advancement, politics and human nature are bound to corrupt the process further.
This is why codified process will always be better in the long run for most companies, because it's the only tool possible for combatting this

- brazzledazzle 6y agoPeople that corrupt a process are often the ones it’s designed to stop. It’s not even done with ill intent more often than not. How do you create a paradigm or process that can be amended adapt to a persistent threat without that amendment process itself being used as a tool to corrupt it?
- asplake 6y agoI completely agree that you don’t need to assume ill intent. But by that same token, the fact that a paradigm or process isn’t invulnerable does not mean that it shouldn’t be used. Bureaucracy, heavyweight process, and all rest are ways that systems protect themselves. Wasteful though, which is why new paradigms such as Agile come along. Now the Agile ecosystem has become corrupted by a process not comparable to all the above. Not solvable by those means either. It’s a toughie.
