This document discusses problems with the traditional "project" model of software development and proposes an alternative "beyond projects" model. Some key issues with the project model include a focus on completion dates over delivering value, temporary organizations that disband teams, and an emphasis on large batches of work. The alternative proposed is to organize around stable teams, continuous flow of small batches of work, and governance based on delivered benefits rather than project milestones. This "beyond projects" approach aims to keep software living and adapting rather than treating it as having a finite end.
