Losing the Big Picture

Sometimes it happens that we tend to get lost in following some
processes/standards so religiously and lose the sight of big picture or
the essence/crux of what we intended to achieve in first place in a
timely fashion.

Following processes/standards is good but it should not hamper or come
as a stumbling block to achieve your principal objectives in time when
they matter the most.

Anyway this is not something unique to Software Industry but in general
applies to any walk of life. From time immemorial all religions
themselves have seen many new philosophies emerge inside their realm
whenever people following the existing ones lose the sight of big
picture and become too much involved in processes to the point of losing
the essence/crux.
