Your project has no goal

There’s a fantastic little essay over on Noop.Nl about some clever philosophical questions about what projects are. The essay is called Your project has no goal, and he explores why human beings tend to place reasons and explanations into things that are way more about us than about what’s really going on. Includes fun references to Taylorism, and The Selfish Gene.

I doubt I agree with all his points, but who cares – this was the most interesting project management related read I’ve come across in awhile. Good stuff:
Your project has no goal – Noop.Nl

Noop also has several lists you might want to check out, including the top 100 blogs for developers, and the top 100 best software engineering books ever.
