Many project managers always require that the process should be refined and all the things of project management should be written out. Some people who do the process also want to cover the project as much as possible. In fact, the boundary between Process Formulation and actual project management is vague, in this gray area, the project manager is required to control it. Some people say that the process has been formulated, and the project manager just wants to follow the instructions in the assembly line. This is more idealistic. Process Automation still has a long way to go in the software industry. Especially for many immature enterprises, the transitional dependency process is unrealistic, of course, it is difficult for enterprises that rely on individuals to become mature.
