> My very limited experience is that teams can generally self-manage this sort of thing. My experience is that they can absolutely not self-manage these things, it leads to literally living out lord of the flies in chaotic and dysfunctional teams, that are full of infected conflicts and stalled progress. On the other hand, what exactly is it that gives you the impression that decision making is suddenly not needed? And what makes you believe that a group of people with different goals and interests, should spontaneously just "get along", especially when there's money involved?
