#No Projects – Teams not Projects Allan Kelly @allankellynet #NoProjects – Teams Over Projects Good projects make for bad software. Software which is useful is used and demands change, stop changing it and you kill it. In a world without projects how do you manage work? The answer is teams. Teams are the means of production, work should be based around teams and teams should be stable. In this talk Allan Kelly will outline the #NoProjects agenda and discuss the role of teams as the unit of production and the team life cycle.
