In the project I mentioned, we realised that 3-4 good people could have
done a better job than all the formalized teamwork and something like
60 coders.
Once again, management is a discipline where too many idiots who have
taken courses in it manage to fail to understand what lies behind the
courses they took.
And apply formal stupidity wit a ruthlessness only the truly ignorant
can possess.
Once you get into formal madness, you WILL need it to control the huge
teams you find you need just to keep up with all the paperwork.
