2 — I don't believe in pure self-organized teams. Not that I don't believe in people, but just because it's a huge overhead for each teammate, and it's more effective for one person to take the burden of prioritizing the work.

I used to take the responsibility of choosing tasks for the foreseeable future and prioritizing them. But then the whole team discuss those tasks (to better understand and find out the gaps) and everybody decides on what he takes.

So basically I think it's right to take on yourself the overhead + prioritization and let the team decide on everything else.
