"I believe that focusing your time around Project Management tools is a premature optimization and probably #1 killer of many startups."
You lost me when you said probably.
I have been at companies where project management has not been a priority and it was a nightmare. I understand focusing on the tools is a bad idea, but it is dangerous to suggest that project management is not important. There is even a chance focusing on the tools will make the entrepreneur think about how they are being productive, which is the true problem these tools are trying to solve.
- marcosdumay 13y agoWell, I doubt it's one of the biggest 3 killers. How does it compare to doing something nobody cares about, not releasing, and not getting the word out? I also can not understand how formal project management can do anything but harm a startup. I can only imagine people saying things equivalent to "We are going into uncharted territory, but this is exactly the path we are taking"
