Funny when you look at the actual definition of a project straight from PMP.

"a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique project service or result."

No "projects" in software fhat I know of are actually temporary. They only end when management fires the people behind them, it gets cut off or there is no adoption.

We in software think of projects really as things which we create and which need maintenance in order to live. There is never some "end" to it.

Because it doesn't even conform to its own definitions, we could therefore conclude that the whole PMP project management discipline, as applied to software, is a scam.
