A way to manage tech teams working to an ill-defined task, described by Tracy Kidder as "Keep them in the dark, feed them shit, watch them grow" (in his 1981 title 'The Soul of a New Machine' about the people that built the first minicomputer at Data General).
As long as the outcome remains undefined, there's no way to hold them accountable for whichever result. You'd better apply mushroom management instead.

Get the Managermug. A manager that defines ones self by using emails,constant tendering of the keyboard and delegation of of things they have meant to have done themselves.A job is finished when they either hit the enter key,or sent an email...and never actually give a second thought to those receiving the email the chaos they have just created,let alone know what their subordinates are really doing.Quite often they appear that their arse is welded to the chair,and are unable to get off said chair to go find out for themselves....even though they authourise the said item.
" I have sent them an email informing them of the problem"...but never bothers to chase up if the problem has been fixed.The job is deemed complete by hitting enter or " Send" hence the term " Enter Management"
