"Apple under Tim Cook will embrace efficiency to an even greater degree" - I've never seen a company that starts adding project managers to a process that is deemed "inefficient" but profitable that has led to a long-term improvement. In the short-term things look better with all the new "documentation" of process, but it devolves into managers meeting for the meetings themselves, and the HiPPO syndrome (Highest Paid Person's Opinion).
- hessenwolf 14y agoDocumentation... shudder. I used to, sadly, enjoying documenting my work, but now I am in a multinational and have to document for regulators and risk management, as opposed to future users or replacement developers. Not to sound to biased, but project management-style documentation is all completely horrific, obfuscating bloat.

Documentation like that seems to be 100% bloat that is designed to make people feel like they're doing something to earn the upper management title.
