Okay, so maybe I'm an old man, but I have a hard time looking at all these newfangled project management strategies (agile, scrum, waterfall, whatever) and it just seems like literally all of them are patchwork responses to the organization fundamentally being in limbo as to whether they are creating a product, working on a project (meaning, a thing that has a start and an end) or providing a service, which by definition doesn't fit well with "project management."
