Process and people

Had an interesting discussion with Rado the other day. We were discussing process.

Just reinforced the notion that process is there for the people, not the people for the process. As such the process should accommodate all people and their working styles, not the other way around. When running a project I must try and make the process we have chosen work for all the people on the team. The inability of a process to adapt to an individuals working style is a failure of the process.

In general I try to adapt the process to the people. In reality, at times I am not able to adapt the process to meet the needs of all the people. This is a failing of the process and myself.
