Beyond Projects - why projects are wrong and what to do instead
Good projects make for bad software. At best the concept of a "Project" is erroneously used for IT - specifically development work. At worst the Project metaphor leads to dead software, higher costs and missed business opportunities.
In this talk Allan Kelly will attempt to justify this somewhat radical view, he will examine the project model and show how it does not match software development. He will then outline an alternative to the project model and what companies need to do to achieve it.
