Episode notes
Excessive Analysis
- A medical client meticulously documented every software detail, slowing down releases.
- Ironically, compliance officers only required a documented process, not excessive analysis.
Subtle Taylorism
- Tailoring mindset persists, but subtly, without explicit dogma.
- People desire faster responses, adopting Agile/Lean/DevOps, but lack a unifying theory.

- Similarly, adopting Agile practices without cultural change yields no improvement.
