If the Standard is silent \u2013 users can do whatever they want<\/p>\n
Do you have this perspective with your standard?<\/p>\n
Or are you calling people on the carpet for not doing what you never told them had to do? Or for doing something that you never said they could not do?<\/p>\n
Here is my thought…<\/p>\n
If my standard does not cover a topic, then the users can do whatever they please with their Project Managers permission. If I have failed to include something in my standard, I am not going to yell at someone for being creative. I fully expect them to be able to defend their decisions. They should not just be randomly creating garbage. They need to use wisdom when selecting a path and be able to define the reasons they decided to do what they have done.<\/p>\n
My goal is to put into my standard everything that is critical for my team to do correctly and in a unified manner. If I do not include it, then it is my fault if people are doing things in differing ways. I don’t blame the users.<\/p>\n
BUT…<\/p>\n
If it is not silent, then I expect (demand) that they follow the standard. There is no wiggle room. I have defined what is needed and they need to comply. If I have the full and complete backing of upper management, then no one can violate the standard without cause. And the causes are very few.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
