After having worked for outsourcing, consultancy and product companies I believe that creating a place where people really trust each other is easier when software engineers and stakeholders are both part of the same organization. This notion shows that governance is not considered a requirement for the business.

Knowing the probabilistic behaviours of all three of these random variables - Value, Time needed to produce the Value, and Cost to produce the Value is required for any decision to be made in the presence of uncertainty.

The Fermi estimate, or order estimation is an estimation problem, teaches dimensional analysis, approximation, using a back-of-the-envelope calculation. Governance drives processes in Agile at Scale. Governance can be ignored or even flaunted for small self contained teams. Governance by its definition is about decision rights.
