⚠️ Most teams don't set out to become manager-heavy. It happens gradually: a compliance need here, a growth phase there. I wrote a three-part series on spotting the pattern and fixing it. Part 3 covers the practical steps. 💭 Has your team ever had more people overseeing work than doing it?

Too Many Waiters, Not Enough Cooks: Practical Steps For Change | Jamie Taylor - Fractional CTO & Technology Consultant

The final part of our series on management overhead in software teams. We provide a practical roadmap for addressing excessive management overhead, restructuring teams for autonomy, and implementing change that improves delivery capability.
