Hi! I just got into an argument with my manager about how I had to follow processes.
Basically I asked "is it common for engineers to have problems with following rigid processes even where they don't make sense or are impractical in some cases?"
He said: "Nope: they just follow it. There are processes in place for changing processes."
Wonderful. Using the same rigidity in order to make sure there isn't too much rigidity. This is being done for project management purposes like CMMI or TQM.
The issue is where you're supposed to trust the people who organized the process to be wiser than you are and right in the long run...and that what seems nonsense to you is better in the long run.
Gifted people tend to question that. I certainly do. Does anyone else here?
