If you were my manager this entire discussion would be moot. I never said processes were bad or that I don't use them.

I stand firm: "In order to have specific, measurable objectives, specific, concrete processes are required" is simply not a true statement. All the wishing in the world will not make it so.

At the end of the day, someone has to type out the "damn document" or nobody's process gets marked complete.

And that's my final answer.

I'll sit my ass in a chair and type out the damn document.

on the line, this type of dice-throwing is not acceptable.
