Haha thanks for this comment, this reminds me to that Jira madness I have seen at one group I worked with. (Classical non-sw company). The management have read books about how the software should be developed, designed a nice process, and created a complicated workflow, with numerous different kind of statuses and so on. All this for internal tool development... I was laughing inside. So what happened? The in-progress - review - test (and what else where there I can’t recall) was completed by the developer in a few seconds. :D And after 3 year and some management change, they improved significantly by reduced workflow. To be honest I am proud of them.

In my experience enforcing complicated processes only improves the creativity how to avoid them... Don’t missunderstand me, I’m not against processes, but I believe in keep it simple and stupid.
