People?
Yes!
Product?
Hell Yes!!!
Process?
Boooooooo!
Is that what comes to your mind when someone mentions “process”? For many that’s a “Yes!”… “We don’t need no stinkin process; we just want to work”
“Process is just a book definition of something”, “its boring stuff”, or “Theory that doesn’t apply to the real world” are some of the phrases I have heard people use in disgust to define what process is; and in a past life someone used a “process is something that doesn’t apply to a startup or startup culture” on me….
“We care about people”
“We care about product”
“We only care about people and product”
..but what about process? why does process not get any love? What is it about process that makes people cringe? If process is evil, why is it that many methodologies (based on research and metrics) focus on the importance of all three (“People”, “Product” and “Process“)?
Process is everything that people and product are not.
Process:
Life is a process that’s filled with people and products
(among other things)
