| > Do folks think this is a useful thing to do? I do. It is a ritual, the impact of rituals on productivity is well understood [1], but then there is [2] and we live in a post-factual world and we'll all dissolve into nothingness eventually anyway [3] I think rituals carry value for some type of people (those who think rituals are a good thing) and provide value to some of the people who don't like them (eg. those who would slack off or lose focus without them). I also believe there is a subset of free thinkers who are constrained by rituals. I also think not all rituals should apply equally to everybody. > What are the methods people use to do this? Target definition and evaluation at fixed intervals or when roles change. > What are the pain points? Rituals that exist on paper but have no real impact, excessive exceptions, insufficient leverage and rewards. [1] https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1468-2370....
