Come with an open mind
This is a controversial topic

@DipeshPala@eleybourn
What exactly is a project?
A temporary structure to govern and deliver a complex change (such as a new
product)
![Page 5: If you need to run a project you've already failed](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/589ea8bf1a28ab38288b56b1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Projects are expensive
The three O’s of project cost; 1. Overheads, 2. Overruns and 3. Opportunity costs

@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Projects fail
The definition of insanity is to “do the same thing and expect a different result”
![Page 7: If you need to run a project you've already failed](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/589ea8bf1a28ab38288b56b1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Projects focus on the wrong thing
What is measurable not what is valuable
![Page 8: If you need to run a project you've already failed](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/589ea8bf1a28ab38288b56b1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Projects are temporary (products aren’t)
Products don’t end when the project does – don’t artificially constrain them &
lose key skills

Continuous change is the alternative!
The approach and structure to successfully deliver continuous change
without a project

What is #noprojects?
The alignment of activities to outcomesmeasured by value, constrained by guiding principles and supported by continuous delivery technologies

@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Outcomes over outputs
Outcomes are valuable, planned, slowly changing and define a common direction
for all work

@DipeshPala@eleybourn
Working principles
Common, agreed, and prioritised constraints that shape all activities
(e.g. quality, communication, staff engagement, security, or branding)

Funding #noprojects
Change the question – not “how much will this cost?”, but rather “how much is
it worth?”
