Agreed, many times over! I'll go further and saying that I've seen some times when a focus on purely processes & project management (not just the software) can really bog down a team. If you're so worried about finding the "perfect process", you'll never get anything done. Whether it's putting together code style guidelines or information flow processes, sometimes it's best just to move forward and use common sense. I understand that it can fall apart, especially in a larger company, but in a startup environment, I find it especially frustrating when a company has weeks worth of meetings to decide the best way for a specific process to go. Sometimes things just need to be done.
