What does red tape have to do with autonomy? Lack of autonomy means you work at the kind of place where you'll get a dressing down for fixing a GitHub issue that wasn't specifically assigned to you by your product manager. That's the only way someone could possibly get bored on the job. When every action has to be dictated and the dictator is lazy.
- happymellon 3y agoYou appear to be conflating an example with the only example of lacking autonomy. > the right or condition of self-government. I agree that getting a dressing down for not having a ticket assigned is an example. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tape https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_tape > Red tape is an idiom referring to regulations or conformity to formal rules or standards which are claimed to be excessive, rigid or redundant, or to bureaucracy claimed to hinder or prevent action or decision-making. I believe red tape also falls into that definition. It's fine if you disagree.
- watwut 3y agoMajority of agile setups feature lack of autonomy.
- happymellon 3y agoThen you see it often on here how therefore Agile sucks. When people then point out that autonomy is a requirement they throw the "no true Scotsman" argument around, rather than see the flaws in their process.
