Trust the process

The only way to do more is to start by doing less.

[...]

Good process doesn’t have a name because it doesn’t need one.

[...]

If you want to measure how your team is working, measure how little they discuss their process.

Paul Ford, in Trust the process.

Martin Fowler, "Remove Middle Man", in Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code (2nd Edition), 192.
