How do you usually define the right type and amount of your engagement in the process? Authority, Responsibility, Accountability are still a part of the management theory and no one actively uses them in practice to organize the processes. However, more processes are shifting to a horizontal (flat) organization, and authority is no longer “ordering someone to do something” but rather motivating and leading co-workers by sharing the same goals. At Railsware, the roles are taken rather than assigned, meaning that people have a choice of which role they want to take and in which project. Each specialist is engaged in different projects and domains, they contribute with opinions based on the data from various business aspects. This improves the quality and objectiveness of decisions made because more expertise is involved. Find more practical cases and useful tools in our blog👇
