How Project Management tools kill more companies than any other SaaS out there

teams need to be able to self-select the processes that work for them rather than have it foisted upon them.

as steve jobs said: "it makes no sense to hire smart people, and then tell them what to do."

Sure, but teams shouldn't each self-select their own inter-team API.

I get the impression people are trying run businesses like family business with that one know it all elderly relative budding into everyone's daily job armed with the "game changing" tip they heard on tv or read on the life advices section of local newspaper.

Sometimes the idea of a "project" itself leads to failure. That is, an activity which could be organized as a successful program or "project portfolio" instead terminates with a product that is embarrassingly bad and management blames the customers for not using it.
