Death by Committee

A close cousin in the agile world is The Product Owner Committee1 which says:

"A product owner committee is a group of product owners without anyone in charge of the overall product . . . ."

"A product owner committee is in danger of getting caught in endless meetings with conflicting interests and politics . . . ."

"No real progress is achieved; people stop collaborating and start fighting . . . ."
