Is it just me, or is "project management" as an idea kinda way past its limits when applied to software-eaten examples? The higher the bits:atoms ratio, the more project management breaks down for a given level of complexity (doesn't have to be software... just bit-dense)

It's not an agile vs. waterfall thing. It's that PM of either flavor has the wrong ontology for everything going on. It doesn't capture the sense of herding a distributed, loosely synchronized set of local activities together in a foggy VUCA landscape, trying to engineer luck

There's elements of it that's like portfolio or program management. A kind of level inflation. All meaningful projects now are kinda like portfolio-programs. If it can be handled with PM methods, it probably hasn't been done any differently since 1965.
