I think there's such a thing as too much teamwork. Am I wrong?

Post Body

I'm a BA who works on development teams with developers and QA. I've noticed that there are some people who can't seem to do anything without sitting everyone down to talk it through in intense detail. For example, I'm in a meeting now where the product owner is entering new stories into JIRA but can't seem to do anything without the team telling him what to enter and what to type. He's like "do we need requirements?", "do we need a story for development on this?" for every single thing. It doesn't seem to bother the other BA's but it bothers me.

I'm all for teamwork but I don't think it should extend to needing the team to tell you what to think and do. It comes off to me like he doesn't know what he's doing. It's not just this one guy, but a pattern I notice with a lot of coworkers.

Another example is pulling the team together for an hour or more to discuss whether or not, or how, to implement something very tiny. I get that there may be downline repercussions to even tiny changes that need to be considered, but once those are identified, i think the discussion is done.

Am I just wrong?
