Yes, in this case it was one of those cases where one group wanted to (and my apologies for the war-like metaphor here) call in the heavy artillery. The project said «no, we have better mechanisms for this». That's certainly a course correction, but that's fine. > So, yes we «won» in the sense that the mandate to get over our mutual > pigheadedness and start to bloody *talk* to each other was sent loud and > clear (let's hope it'll be received), but along the way we lost a heap of > trust in each other which will have to be regained. It's not only a mandate, it's a directive. It's the metaphorical parent going «why are you running to me to solve this problem? You know how to fix this already!». > > I sure hope we are.
