We ran a process audit. Every ritual, every template, every checkpoint — justified or cut.
What survived: a weekly decision meeting, a written architecture doc for new systems, code review, and a shared retro. Everything else went.
What died: daily standups, task estimation rituals, status emails to leadership, two-week planning cycles that nobody used.
The counterintuitive part: velocity went up as process went down. People made decisions faster because they weren't waiting for approval to make them.
Rule of thumb for any process: if nobody will miss it when you delete it, delete it.
