Some observations...<p>The section &quot;Signs of a Dysfunctional Software Development Lifecycle&quot; ignores a very common reason for &quot;Your team is always in crunch mode&quot; mainly that the stakeholders insist on unreasonable goals even though the team says it&#x27;s not realistic because individual team members are not empowered to make decisions.<p>And under &quot;Post-Mortems and Retrospectives&quot; something doesn&#x27;t seem right. I&#x27;m not sure how I feel about focussing on individual team members failings that way. You can&#x27;t change who a person is as quick as you can change policy. I feel it is better to have the policy gently nudge John in a direction that discourages destructive overconfidence.<p>Edit: the appendix also seems a bit dangerous in that I&#x27;m now envisioning a bunch of MBAs going to their chief architect... we have data scaling issues? Why don&#x27;t you just encode that field as a 0 or 1 instead of male&#x2F;female.

I would like to think that an MBA typically goes much deeper. This article instead is pretty shallow.<p>It might suffice to ramp up your knowledge in the direction of knowing enough to be dangerous, though.
