I think all too often people structure projects as very large batches of work that only all work together and otherwise are waste. And in that case, the author's claim is true. But it's undesirable. That's an incredibly risky way to do things. If, instead, the author means that a project is the atomic unit of work that creates value, then the claim is also true. And less risky. But if a project is a set of smaller independent chunks of work that each incrementally add value on their own, I'll disagree. Delivering the project is not the only thing that matters. It may not be the most important thing. delivering value > delivering projects I think this tends to be lost on people who manage projects instead of value.
