Is there actually solid data modern project management strategies work better than the ones from 20 odd years ago? Best run project I think I ever worked on was from the late 90s.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoPM hasn't changed much besides trending towards smaller batches, the difference is more business folks are aware there are strategies at all.
- wizofaus 4y agoThat "smaller batches" change has been pretty extreme though. My current company is on the bandwagon of being able to release new features every day, even if we have to jump through hoops and severely compromise quality to make it happen. I appreciate being able to avoid the disadvantages of 6-12 month long release cycles, but surely there's some sweet spot between daily and yearly (which almost certainly varies depending on the product and company developing it).

- melling 4y agoDo you mean “release early, release often”? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often
- wizofaus 4y agoRelease early/often is fine as a philosophy but there need to be better guidelines around how early/often actually makes sense, rather than assuming just because company X releases product Y multiple times a day it must be something to aim for.
