Sounds like they need some hierarchy instead of anarchy.

- atoav 5y agoNot sure this is about hierarchy, it is probably more about a clear distribution of tasks. You can distribute tasks without having to fall back on a hierarchy. You can build a hierarchy without distributing tasks in a clear and efficient manner. Many projects get away with spontaneous distribution of tasks ("You wrote the tests once? Congratulations you are now the tests guy until someone else comes along"). That doesn't mean someone has to tell you that you are the tests guy now. It means all members of a team have to wonder what tasks need to be done, which task is currently not being worked on and who is the best person to do that task. Open source projects work like this very successfully with little to no hierarchy.
