I wonder how much software project failure comes from lacking clear processes. Many teams, whether in companies or open source projects, never define step by step procedures for common tasks like feature development, bug triage, code review, or architectural decisions. When six developers each follow their own approach, even with consistent code style, the team can’t improve the system in a predictable and systematic way. Clear procedures don’t guarantee success, but without them teams often end up with chaos and inconsistent delivery. This lack of structured methodology seems far more common in software engineering than in other engineering disciplines.
