And yet, do you not see how if _every single thing_ that your organization does went through this process, it would find itself in gridlock of decision making? How would your organization fare if it has to spend two weeks just do decide if the paper cups at the water cooler should have knurled or smooth bottoms. Or if the decision over whether you should implement a minor feature that would take an engineer half a day takes several months.
