The most successful companies I have ever worked for hired smart developers and got out of the way. The least successful company I have worked for spent a huge amount of time in meetings, planning and documenting everything, while failing in the market place against competitors that didn’t. The more structure you impose, the less competitive you are. It is OK if you are a monopoly (NASA) but if not then be careful what you wish for.
