    "text": "if you align the org chart too much to the individual projects, you're going to end up re-orging every two weeks, which would be a total nightmare. … And there is the concept of a bet lead or a directly responsible individual. But the interesting thing is that they don't manage usually any of the other people, which … breaks the … previous way in which a lot of these things were done. But I think it leads us to be really flexible when you say, OK, actually, this project is not going to work out. Let's disband and keep going, and it's not a big deal.",
