At least in a business setting I think the whole concept of a project needs serious reconsideration. We end up more often than not trying to fit developing a digital product into an enormously stupid gantt chart to execute some poorly thought “business requirements”. I prefer to talk products and not projects, I deliver the full thing including “growth” as adoption doesn’t come “if you build it” even within a Company setting. If you are building a product you can also get closer to those with the real problem willing to fund you with real budgets. On top of everything else if you are making users happy they will not chase you on fake estimates but rather work with you to get stuff done.
- snidane 6y agoFunny when you look at the actual definition of a project straight from PMP. "a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique project service or result." No "projects" in software fhat I know of are actually temporary. They only end when management fires the people behind them, it gets cut off or there is no adoption. We in software think of projects really as things which we create and which need maintenance in order to live. There is never some "end" to it. Because it doesn't even conform to its own definitions, we could therefore conclude that the whole PMP project management discipline, as applied to software, is a scam.
