How about a culture of passive voice, i.e. "it happened somehow but no one is to blame"? That does not seem any better.
It seems difficult to achieve a "fall on your sword" / "take full responsibility for your actions" culture. Part of this is, of course, realizing that everyone makes mistakes and not shooting down those admitting their mistakes, but even given that it seems really hard to get people to just say "it's my fault". -- Jess Holle Jim Moore wrote: > That's a broken management culture -- no "process" is going to work > well in that context until the culture of blame and CYA is fixed... > > > On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 9:09 AM, Vince O'Sullivan > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > > On Oct 21, 9:24 am, kibitzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > RUP can be agile because you can pick and choose which > > bits you need based on what you're doing. > > The catch is that you have to justify and document your decisions. > Therefore, you end up with documents that refer to stuff that you're > not using and why you're not using it.
