Working Code Podcast - Episode 75: What Problem Does This Solve?

Carol - who has recently stepped into a managerial role - is facing an interesting situation: her company wants to start implementing process changes across the board. However, Carol's own team is kicking ass and taking names; and, she can't understand how any of the proposed changes will actually make her team more effective. In fact, she believes that some of the changes will be counterproductive for her team. So, the question becomes: how does she push-back against the proposed changes without looking like an antagonist or a contrarian?

This topic hits close to home for me. As someone who has been on teams that have been renamed; and, who has been on "teams" that were suddenly referred to as "squads" without anything else changing, it often seems that companies like change and uniformity simply for the sake of change and uniformity.
