I think this is almost every startup from a first time founder :)

Process should be something that helps productivity, not hinder it. Otherwise... what's the point? Retrospectives are incredibly important because that's where conversation about various processes should happen. Teams should have the freedom to implement or get rid of processes so long as they believe their decisions are going to help.

I agree that in many cases, processes are implemented for the sake of implementing them and that kills productivity. Politics doesn't help either, though I feel that it's in human nature to start having politics. These are harder problems to solve though. I wrote the post to talk about the pure technical side of things because it is a much easier problem, even though it may not seem like it sometimes.
