As teams grow, there’s always a tipping point, enough structure to stay aligned, but not so much that it slows everyone down.
Where have you drawn the line?
That balance is tricky, too little process feels chaotic, too much feels like red tape. Curious to hear how others have found their sweet spot.
For me, the line is when meetings or reports start feeling like work about work. A little structure to align priorities is great, but anything that slows actual coding or decision-making is too much.
i feel like the “too much process” line isn’t the same for everyone. some ppl like having more structure, others find it suffocating. what worked for my last team was checking in every few months and just asking “is this meeting/doc/report still helping us, or just extra overhead?” killed a bunch of stuff that way. do you all do that kind of reset, or once a process comes in it usually sticks?
