The Process Workshop

The group that I belong to is called the Publishing studio… it may as well have been called the process factory or the rules workshop. The people here want a process for EVERYTHING! The context here is that I received this mail in the morning saying how we don’t have a process for template definition… hello?!!!! I mean, excuse me for living! Does there actually have to be a process for defining templates. Soon, they’ll start demanding processes and checklists for eating, breathing, and so on.

Of course, now that my initial reaction has tided over, the real issue as I see it is why must we complicate and over engineer things to SUCH an extent?.... as humans gifted with the unique ability to think… where do we lose it?!
