How Bureaucracy Develops
đŹ "And one day you wake up and a variety of phenomenon might have happened. And if people are watching this from a large company, here might be some of the characteristics."
- Different groups using different tech stacks, leading to development delays.
- Increased dependencies between teams, causing bottlenecks and resource contention.
- Teams building their own internal services to bypass dependencies, leading to divisions.
- Divisions advocating for themselves, leading to politics and resource allocation based on relationships, not merit.
- Subdivisions creating bureaucracy, lack of accountability, and complacency.
Key takeaway: This cycle can lead to a company losing its agility and customer focus, with disparate teams working in silos and producing work that doesn't resonate with users.
