Stop Using Projects to Make Products

A project is: “a set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations.” — BusinessDictionary.com, 2016.

I am honored to present 3 unique sessions at Agile Tour Montréal 2019.

A project is: “a set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain cost and other limitations.” — BusinessDictionary.com, 2016. The problem: Product development cannot be constrained to “certain cost” and products do not have a prescribed end date. So, why all the projects?

I teach Scrum, Kanban, and Agile Engineering Principles and Practices. In my classes:

  • ~55% of the people in my classes are “Project Managers”
  • ~90% work daily in “project teams” and
  • ~0% are ready to let go of Project Charters!?
