Procedures and Processes

Tell me, what do you think about procedures and processes.
Are they evil or good?
Do you like them or hate?
What do you think about people that force you to fit some procedures and processes?

I am process person, I like when everything is clear what to do and where to go. Of course, there are some ridiculous or too heavy one. But I am terrified when there is nothing. Let put aside life, it is to complex and worth separate discussion.
Now I want to talk about procedures and processes in the projects and teams at work.

If there is one person, all procedures and processes is self-organisation skills. But when there are two, or more people. Communications and agreements are essentially required. And if more people more differences, it become more and more important to fine common language and habits for work.

I like procedures, and processes which goes align with work itself. when there is no need in extra steps just to fit the process. I would prefer to dig out my favourite tasks rather than write status update email or attend meeting when no value from me and to me.

And I cannot stand for a log time, I start change environment to my vision. That not everybody like. Because effective processes make  you transparent to all, and you cannot hide anymore doing nothing. And what is most incredible "doing nothing" is considered as bad thing, I would argue to it. In analysis, and not only, you need step aside, take time and re-think some ideas. And you should not be afraid to show it.
